Arriving at stores just in time for the holiday season, Maui Jim is adding to its portfolio of glamorous round sunglasses for women. Kalena joins Maile and Nalani in a collection of sunglasses that are dressed up with angles that hint of butterfly wings. Having the lightness of air, these new sunglasses offer an oversized aesthetic with slightly upturned corners and sophisticated rounded detailing in which to showcase Maui Jim's exclusive MauiPure lenses, the world’s clearest non-glass lens material.

Serving up the mystique of Hollywood romance, updated with high-technology, Kalena is the smallest of the three styles that are the epitome of refined elegance. These sunglasses have a slender, acetate frame that allows you to achieve an oversized look without overwhelming your face. The graceful temple details add a slimming effect. Kalena comes in sleek Black with Crystal and Neutral Grey lenses; Tortoise with White and Blue and HCL Bronze lenses; Dark Tortoise with HCL Bronze lenses; or Gloss Black with Maui Rose lenses.

Maile compliments medium or narrow face shapes with its rounded shape that is slightly elongated along the top and bottom edge. The slender acetate frame is dressed up with aggressive tortoise patterns, duotone colorations, or unique see-through detailing. Maile comes in sleek Gloss Black or aggressive Tokyo Tortoise with Neutral Grey lenses; jazzy Black with Crystal detailing and Maui Rose lenses; and sophisticated Dark Tortoise or Tortoise with Ivory with HCL Bronze lenses.

Nalani portrays a slightly trimmer eye shape for a more oval look. The wider temples provide a stunning, curvy side perspective and show off this luxuriously finished frame in color ways of Gloss Black with Neutral Grey lenses, Tokyo Tortoise with HCL Bronze lenses, Dark Tortoise with Maui Rose lenses, or Tortoise with White & Blue and HCL Bronze lenses. Nalani has an eye size of 61, DBL of 16, temple of 126 and a six-base curvature, resulting in an ultra-comfortable frame that makes taking a walk or cruising along the lakeshore even more beautiful.

While all three styles are reminiscent of retro era fashion, they feature Maui Jim's newest and most advanced lenses, MauiPure. Proprietary and exclusively found in Maui Jim sunglasses, MauiPure is the world's clearest non-glass lens material and has the added benefits of being ultra-light and extremely scratch- and impact-resistant. With the power of MauiPure behind them, Kalena, Maile and Nalani exude feminine fashion while giving eyes the best defense against the sun's damaging rays. All Maui Jim sunglasses have been awarded the Seal of Recommendation from The Skin Cancer Foundation, recognition that the lenses provide safe and effective sun protection and are an important part of an effective defense program against skin cancers of the eye and eyelids.

All Maui Jim sunglasses feature the company’s patented, color-enhancing PolarizedPlus2 lens technology that cuts 100 percent of UV rays and 99.9 percent of glare from above, below and behind each lens. Maui Jim is the only company to use three rare earth elements with its lenses to improve definition and depth perception while allowing you to see true, vivid colors. All three styles feature a MauiGradient lens treatment that is darker at the top and gradually gets lighter towards the bottom of the lens for powerful protection with a fashionable look. The benefits of these sunglasses are rounded out by their anti-corrosive spring hinges that slightly stretch when you put them on, but then gently hug your face in comfort.
