Masterdis, sunglasses born in Munich

Masterdis, sometimes branded as MSTRDS, is an accessories brand based in Munich, Germany.

They feature bold colours, gradient effects and reflective lenses, with affordable prices that encourage variety depending on outfits and moods. Their spirit of streetwear makes them perfect for days in the city, festivals and outdoor weekends, with the requirement of genuine protection against the sun.

Likoma, Chirwa, Arthur: mirrored lenses and colourful frames

The Likoma is one of the brand's classics: its rubberised frame with a colour gradient provides a good fit on the nose, and its mirrored lenses reflect light while concealing the eyes. The Chirwa comes in many colours and patterns that make it a standout accessory. The Arthur, with a round frame, is particularly suited for medium-sized faces and blocks all ultraviolet rays. The lightweight, impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses are ideal for an active lifestyle, from skateboarding to city cycling, without the fear of breaking on the first impact.

Filter category and face shape

A pair of sunglasses is primarily chosen for its protection: check for the CE marking, the UV400 mention and the filter category, from zero to four. Category two is suitable for the city in variable weather, while category three is for bright sunshine, whether on a terrace or at the beach. The shape is then selected based on the face: a round frame, like the Arthur, softens a square face, a rectangular frame structures a round face, and a pilot shape balances a triangle-shaped face. Finally, ensure that the frame does not touch the cheeks when smiling and that the arms hold without squeezing the temples.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are packed and dispatched within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a consistent order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and the back-to-school period.

Frequently asked questions

Do mirrored lenses provide better eye protection?

The mirror treatment reflects part of the light and reduces glare, but protection against ultraviolet rays depends on the filter. Check the category and CE marking, which guarantee genuine protection.

What's the difference between mirrored lenses and polarised lenses?

The mirror treatment reflects part of the light on the front face of the lens. The polarising filter, on the other hand, removes dazzling reflections from water or roads. Both can be combined on the same lens.

Can you drive with Masterdis sunglasses?

Yes, with a category two or three filter, suitable for daytime driving. Category four, which is very dark, is prohibited while driving, and overly tinted lenses should be avoided at dusk and in tunnels.

How do you choose the size of your sunglasses?

The frame should cover the eyebrow without excessively extending beyond it and stay aligned with the width of the face. The arms should sit behind the ears without pinching, and the pair should not slip when you lower your head.

How do you maintain sunglasses without damaging the lenses?

Clean them with clear water, then dry with a microfiber cloth, never with clothing or paper towels. Store them in their case and do not leave them in direct sunlight behind a windshield.
