The coast, in acetate. Riviera is Rockwell's premium acetate frame for the long lunch and the late light — handcrafted in Italy in Black, Tan/Black Leopard, and the Green/Black Leopard colourway that makes the line. The material is the story: premium acetate, named and disclosed, with colour that runs through the depth of the frame rather than sitting on its surface. Don't settle for sunglasses made of cheap plastics that could leach into your skin. Know what your sunglasses are made of. Acetate is cellulose — derived from cotton and wood pulp — cast, cured, and cut, in the tradition Italian eyewear is famous for. Riviera wears that tradition lightly: substantial in the hand, easy on the face, finished to be looked at up close. The Lens Riviera's lenses carry UV400 protection — 100% of UVA and UVB, blocking wavelengths up to 400 nanometres, while ordinary "UV sunglasses" are only required to block 75%. Black and Tan/Black Leopard wear a black lens; the Green/Black Leopard build pairs its frame with a brown lens. No borrowed claims — just the material, the making, and full UV protection.
