Italian Architecture
For Your Face
Prada founded its eyewear line as an extension of the Milan house established by Mario Prada in 1913 — bringing the same Saffiano-era precision to frames produced under licence by de Rigo since 2017. What separates Prada eyewear is the architecture of each frame: geometric acetate fronts with bevelled edges, angular hinge plates etched with the double-triangle logo hardware, and Italian-made metal temples with nylon core wires for structural rigidity. These are not accessories that decorate an outfit — they are the decision that makes an outfit.

The Frame Is The Statement.
— Prada Eyewear
The Prada World
Shoot First,
Think Later
The Prada customer doesn't follow the brief — she rewrites it. She turns up on her own terms: oversized lenses, a silhouette built for a billboard, and the kind of considered irreverence that only comes from knowing exactly who you are.
Why We Love It
01
Italian Architecture
Every Prada frame is manufactured in Italy with bevelled acetate edges and precision-engineered metal hinge plates — structural details you feel the moment you put them on.
02
Intellectual Edge
Prada consistently uses eyewear as a design statement rather than a category filler — each season's silhouettes are debated by critics, which means they hold their cultural weight long after the runway.
03
Wardrobe Anchor
A Prada frame works harder than most pieces you own — it's the thing that sharpens a plain white shirt, elevates a tailored coat, and makes a casual Sunday feel deliberate.

Prada sunglasses at Sunglass Style NZ are priced from $425 to $790, depending on frame material and collection. Metal frames like the PR 65ZS sit at the accessible end of the range, while acetate styles with more complex construction and hardware sit higher. Every frame is priced in New Zealand dollars and includes GST — what you see is what you pay. Sunglass Style holds all Prada stock in New Zealand, so there are no import delays and no currency surprises at checkout.

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. Buying from an unauthorised third-party seller or marketplace carries real risk — grey market and counterfeit eyewear is common, and often undetectable without expertise. Purchasing from an authorised stockist like Sunglass Style is the only way to guarantee you're getting the real thing, along with the correct manufacturer warranty and access to legitimate repair and lens services in New Zealand.
