How I’d Wear It

Modern Walnut offers a softer alternative to black, with subtle pattern and warm depth. I'd wear these with natural cotton, chocolate brown, or an ivory shirt for an understated everyday combination.

Why I Chose It

I chose the Amelia because I love the glamour of an aviator, but these are unusually light and comfortable. On me, they sit without pinching my nose, so I can wear them all day—exactly the balance of beauty and practicality I look for in accessories. I also appreciate Machete's use of Italian cellulose acetate, a plant-derived alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. It allows for the beautiful depth, translucency, and variation in their frames, bringing together the design and material choices that matter to me.
