Vallon Elmore Sunglasses

The brow bar aviator is one of the most enduring silhouettes in eyewear. It has been copied, cheapened, and mass produced by every brand with a sunglass line. The Vallon Elmore takes the shape back to something worth wearing by building it properly and adding functional details that most aviator style frames never consider.

The frame is full acetate rather than the thin metal construction that defines most brow bar designs. That gives it more visual weight and durability without losing the clean lines the silhouette is known for. The temples feature adjustable ends with an integrated metal core that can be shaped inward for a tighter hold or outward to relieve pressure. It is a small detail that turns a standard fit into a personalized one without visiting an optician.

The lenses are Vallon's V52 polarized optics, constructed from lightweight nylon polyamide with an ABBE value of 52 for outstanding optical clarity. Full UV400 protection, effective glare reduction, and color filtration that keeps the world looking natural rather than artificially tinted. These are performance lenses in a frame that doesn't look like performance eyewear, which is the whole point.

The detachable sports headstrap is what moves the Elmore from a lifestyle accessory into something genuinely versatile. Clip it on for hiking, sailing, biking, or any activity where you need your sunglasses to stay put through movement and sweat. Remove it and the Elmore looks like a clean, classic aviator for everything else. Most sunglasses force you to choose between looking good and staying secure. The Elmore lets you do both depending on the day.

Designed for Men (Elmore) and Women (Ella). A brow bar aviator that finally delivers on both the style and the function that the silhouette has always promised but rarely provided.
