They arrived safe! The package got routed weirdly through USPS (NYC>AZ>Ohio>Georgia>San Diego) so the box was banged up, but the glasses were totally fine! Everything was as pictured, fit me and look great! Thank you so much to Maureen and her team for getting me something I've dreamed of for years :)

Trinity | 1997 Matrix Sunglasses

The sunglasses seem completely unused, they are NOS! Lovely communication, quick delivery, well packed. Anytime again! Thank you!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

Awesome glasses, titanium frame is super light and sturdy, the design is very unique and cool without being too outlandish. They also came with a really cool triangular prism folding carrying case.

"Transmission" 1990s Blinde Sunglasses

Very happy with the glasses- sweet people packed my order with a handwritten note. Haven't worn them out much but they fit and they're comfortable, they actually look right, not tacky. Fits my smallerish face without looking too big. Thanks!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

The Matrix glasses are incredible and fit perfectly. The virtual try on feature is a game changer and helped me make the right choice based on my face shape without any guesswork. The personal touch throughout the whole experience was great, I highly highly recommend!
