Marc Jacobs launched his eponymous label in New York in 1984, and the eyewear collection has always reflected the same instinct that built the house: fashion-forward silhouettes that feel effortless rather than studied. The frames are known for their geometric metal construction — angular hexagons and slim ovals in polished gold — paired with wide acetate temples that carry the brand name flush on the surface, not as a tag but as a design element. In a wardrobe built around intention, Marc Jacobs sunglasses do what good accessories always do: they change the read of everything else you're wearing.

On Your Face
This is eyewear for someone who uses fashion as a first language — who reaches for the angular gold frame the way others reach for a statement earring, because they understand it does the same job. Marc Jacobs sunglasses are stocked at Sunglass Style because they occupy a specific and valuable position: designer-name presence at a price point that makes the decision straightforward.

01
Geometric Precision
The hexagonal and angular lens shapes in the metal range aren't trend-chasing; they're drawn from the house's longstanding interest in architecture as a starting point for fashion design.
02
Gold As Hardware
Marc Jacobs uses polished gold across metal frames and as hinge hardware on acetate styles — the C-logo hinge on the 884 and 885 is recognisable without being loud, which is harder to pull off than it looks.
03
Range Of Silhouettes
From slim oval metal to oversized black acetate cat-eye, the collection covers genuine contrast, meaning you can build two completely different looks from within the same brand.
Everything You Need To Know About Marc Jacobs
-

Marc Jacobs sunglasses at Sunglass Style NZ are priced from $299 to $459, depending on the style and material. Metal frames with geometric lenses — like the angular Marc 496 and slim oval Marc 806 — sit at the lower end of the range, while bold acetate styles with signature gold hardware, such as the Marc 884, 885 and 905, are priced accordingly. For a designer house with Marc Jacobs' fashion profile and New York heritage, the pricing is accessible — these are genuine runway-connected frames at a fraction of what comparable European luxury houses charge for acetate silhouettes of similar quality.
-
Yes. All sunglasses sold at Sunglass Style provide full UV400 protection — meaning they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres. That's the highest level of UV protection available, and it applies across the entire range regardless of lens type. New Zealand has some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world, so this matters more here than in many other countries. Whether you're choosing a light gradient tint or a dark polarised lens, the UV protection is always the same: full UV400.

Square and rectangular frames suit oval, heart, and diamond face shapes well, as the defined corners add structure where the face naturally tapers. If you have a stronger jaw or square face, consider rounder or oval silhouettes that soften strong jaw lines — an oversized aviator silhouette will complement proportions without losing presence. Of course, face shape is a starting point, not a rule — the best frame is the one that feels like you. Colour, personal style, and confidence all matter as much as geometry. The luxury eyewear range at Sunglass Style is wide enough to suit everything from understated elegance to full glamour. If you're shopping in store, our team can help you work through the options. If you're buying online at sunglassstyle.co.nz, we offer refunds on purchases that don't work for you — so you can try with confidence.

When you buy from Sunglass Style, authenticity is guaranteed. We purchase exclusively from brand manufacturers and authorised distributors — so every frame in our stores and on our website is 100% genuine. All sunglasses come in original branded packaging and with relevant documentation. If you ever have any concerns, our team is happy to help.
