Anna-Karin Karlsson The Claw Pilot Sunglasses

Anna-Karin Karlsson The Claw Pilot Sunglasses

Some eyewear catches your eye immediately, and the Anna-Karin Karlsson The Claw Pilot clearly falls into that category. This Swedish designer is known for her singular world, at the intersection of artisanal luxury and an almost surrealist aesthetic. The Claw Pilot stays true to form: this is a pair of sunglasses that dares, that asserts itself, and that speaks to those who are not afraid to be noticed.

An aviator frame designed for women who dare

The aviator shape of The Claw Pilot draws on the classic codes of the genre, with generous lenses and an airy silhouette, but Anna-Karin Karlsson brings her own very personal signature to it. The gold metal frame is remarkably fine, and it is in the details that one perceives all the care taken in its craftsmanship. The 62 mm lens width provides optimal sun protection while asserting a strong character.

This full-rim frame perfectly encases the lenses and gives the whole piece a refined structure, far removed from standardized production. You can sense that each piece is conceived as an object of desire as much as of protection.

Gradient lenses for an elegant and functional effect

The Claw Pilot lenses are gradient, giving them a beautifully elegant visual depth. This type of lens is appreciated for its versatility: it offers more intense sun filtration at the top of the lenses, where sunlight strikes directly, and gradually lightens toward the bottom so as not to alter color perception. It is an ideal option for driving, strolling around the city, or enjoying a sunny terrace.

Anna-Karin Karlsson: a Swedish house in a class of its own

Founded by the eponymous stylist and designer, Anna-Karin Karlsson is a house based in Saltsjöbaden, Sweden. It quickly established itself as a reference in the world of independent luxury, attracting an international clientele seeking to move away from major brands in favor of something truly unique. Her collections are conceived as wearable works of art, with particular attention paid to materials, finishes, and ornamentation. The Claw Pilot comes from the 2018 women's collection, a line that perfectly embodies the brand's identity: precious, bold, and unexpected.

Frequently asked questions about the Anna-Karin Karlsson The Claw Pilot

Is this frame suitable for all face shapes?

The aviator shape with 62 mm lenses is particularly well suited to oval, round, or square faces. The large lenses visually balance facial features and bring a certain lightness to the overall face. If you have a rather small or narrow face, our qualified opticians will be able to advise you on how this frame wears or guide you toward a more appropriate size within the Anna-Karin Karlsson range.

Can these sunglasses be fitted with my prescription?

Yes, this frame can be fitted with your prescription. Our qualified opticians will review your prescription and assess feasibility based on your refractive errors. The shape and size of the lenses are generally compatible with most prescriptions, including progressive lenses. Feel free to contact us to discuss this before your purchase.

How do you care for a metal frame like this one?

Gold metal frames require regular maintenance to preserve their brilliance. It is advisable to clean them with a soft microfiber cloth and to store them in their case when not being worn. Avoid prolonged contact with seawater, sunscreen, or cosmetic products, which can damage the coating over time. Our qualified opticians can also perform a professional cleaning and frame adjustment during your visits to the store.
