DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Saint Laurent Classic SL 28 METAL Sunglasses bring architectural precision to a modern square frame. This unisex design pairs a stainless steel structure with acetate temple tips, creating a hybrid construction that's both lightweight and durable. The defining feature is the double metal bridge—two parallel bars that add structural support and a bold horizontal line across the brow.

Design Inspired by Maison Majorelle

The tone-on-tone metal and acetate color combinations reference Yves Saint Laurent's Maison Majorelle, the designer's Marrakech retreat where vibrant cobalt blues and rich earth tones shaped his creative vision. The lenses are precisely cut to follow the metal outline, positioned on the metal structure for a distinctive layered look. Laser-engraved "SAINT LAURENT" branding appears on both the temple exterior and the double bridge itself—subtle but unmistakable.

The 61mm lens width offers generous coverage, while the 17mm bridge and 145mm temples provide a comfortable fit for medium to large faces. The full-rim design ensures lens security and works well for prescription lenses, including progressives, thanks to the frame's adequate vertical depth. Available in black with grey lenses or silver with grey lenses, both featuring anti-reflective coating for reduced glare.

Who It's For

This frame suits anyone looking for a classic silhouette with contemporary edge. The double bridge design flatters oval, heart-shaped, and square face shapes by adding visual interest and balance to the upper face. It's prescription-ready, so you can add single-vision, progressive, or polarized sun lenses. The square shape and clean lines make it versatile enough for daily wear, yet distinctive enough to stand out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get prescription lenses in the Saint Laurent SL 28 METAL sunglasses?

Yes, the SL 28 METAL is fully prescription-ready. The frame has adequate vertical lens depth to accommodate single-vision, progressive (no-line bifocal), and polarized prescription lenses. Many Saint Laurent sunglasses work well with prescription lenses when the frame size and lens depth are compatible, and this model's 61mm lens width and full-rim construction provide plenty of area for optical customization.

What does the double bridge design do?

The double metal bridge adds structural support to the frame, enhancing durability and preventing warping. It also creates a strong horizontal line that adds visual weight to the upper face, which flatters heart-shaped, oval, and square face shapes. Originally engineered for aviator sunglasses to add rigidity to large frames, the double bridge has become a timeless design element that conveys both vintage heritage and modern sophistication.

What are the measurements of the SL 28 METAL?

The frame measures 61mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (61-17-145). This sizing works best for medium to large faces. The 61mm lens width provides generous coverage, while the full-rim square shape offers a structured, modern look.

What is the Maison Majorelle reference in the product description?

Maison Majorelle refers to the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, which Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé purchased in 1980. The garden is famous for its vibrant "Majorelle blue" cobalt color and rich earth tones, which deeply influenced Saint Laurent's discovery of color and design. The SL 28 METAL's tone-on-tone metal and acetate color combinations pay homage to this iconic location that served as the designer's creative retreat.

What face shapes work best with the SL 28 METAL?

The double bridge square design is universally flattering and complements most face shapes, particularly oval, heart-shaped, and square faces. The double bridge adds visual weight to the upper portion of the face, which balances narrower chins on heart-shaped faces. For square faces, the frame's clean lines and geometric shape provide modern edge, while oval faces can wear nearly any double bridge style successfully.

What material is the SL 28 METAL made from?

The frame combines stainless steel metal construction with acetate temple tips, creating a hybrid design that's both durable and comfortable. The metal structure provides strength and a sleek profile, while the acetate tips add comfort behind the ears. This combination of materials is designed for long-lasting wear and reflects Saint Laurent's commitment to premium quality craftsmanship.

Saint Laurent SL 28 METAL vs. Similar Styles

If you're drawn to the SL 28 METAL's square metal construction and architectural details, you might also consider these alternatives from our Saint Laurent collection:

SL 28 METAL vs. SL M24/K Monogram

The Saint Laurent Monogram SL M24/K ($278-$300) offers a square metal frame at a lower price point. The key difference is branding and design philosophy: the M24/K features visible monogram detailing, while the SL 28 METAL focuses on the double bridge architectural element and Maison Majorelle color story. If you prefer understated luxury with structural detail, the SL 28 METAL delivers. If you want more obvious logo presence, the M24/K is your pick.

SL 28 METAL vs. SL 318 Classic

The Saint Laurent Classic SL 318 ($186-$233) is another Classic collection option at nearly half the price. While both share the Classic collection DNA, the SL 318 likely uses acetate construction rather than the SL 28 METAL's stainless steel and acetate hybrid. The SL 28 METAL's double bridge design and metal construction justify the premium—it's a more architectural, statement-making frame.

Why Choose the SL 28 METAL?

The SL 28 METAL stands out for its hybrid construction, double bridge engineering, and direct reference to Yves Saint Laurent's Maison Majorelle. It's the choice for customers who appreciate design heritage, want a frame that works with prescription lenses, and prefer a square silhouette with distinctive architectural detail. The laser-engraved branding on both the temple and bridge is subtle yet unmistakable—luxury that doesn't shout.
