Harley-Davidson Women's Cat Eye Sunglasses HM00011 | Tortoise Olive Gradient

The Harley-Davidson Women's Cat Eye Sunglasses in model HM00011 52F are a plastic cat eye frame in tortoise with olive brown gradient lenses, bling detail, and a Harley-Davidson script logo - a pair of women's sunglasses that takes one of the most enduring frame shapes in eyewear history and pairs it with a warm, earthy lens tint that suits the tortoise frame's natural colour palette. 100% UVA and UVB protection. Frame size: 54-17-145.

Cat eye frame - the shape and its heritage: The cat eye is one of the most recognisable and enduring frame shapes in eyewear - characterised by an upswept outer corner that lifts the frame at the temple, creating an angular, upward-pointing silhouette that references the shape of a cat's eye. The cat eye frame originated in the 1950s and became the defining eyewear shape of that decade, worn by everyone from Hollywood actresses to everyday women who wanted a frame that was both glamorous and distinctly feminine. It has returned to fashion in multiple cycles since, and its current popularity reflects a broader interest in vintage-inspired aesthetics that suits the tortoise frame and olive lens combination of the HM00011 perfectly. The cat eye shape is particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes, where the upswept outer corner adds definition and lifts the face.

Tortoise frame - the colourway explained: Tortoise - also called tortoiseshell - is a pattern of warm amber, brown, and black tones that replicates the natural patterning of tortoiseshell. In plastic eyewear frames, the tortoise pattern is achieved through layered acetate or injected plastic with multiple colour tones blended through the material, giving each frame a slightly unique pattern. Tortoise is one of the most versatile frame colourways in eyewear - it suits a wide range of skin tones, pairs naturally with warm-toned lenses, and has a classic, timeless quality that doesn't date in the way that fashion-specific colours do. For a cat eye frame, tortoise is the most historically authentic colourway - the original 1950s cat eye frames were predominantly made in tortoiseshell acetate.

Olive brown gradient lens - the lens choice: The olive brown gradient lens transitions from a darker olive tint at the top of the lens to a lighter tint at the bottom - stronger glare protection where direct sunlight and sky glare are strongest, with better clarity through the lower portion for looking at the road, a menu, or a phone screen. The olive brown tint is a warm, earthy tone that complements the tortoise frame's amber and brown palette - the lens and frame work together as a coherent warm-toned combination rather than a contrast. Olive and brown tints are also known for enhancing contrast in outdoor conditions, making colours appear more vivid and defined - a practical advantage for outdoor wear beyond simple glare reduction.

Key Features:

• Cat eye frame shape - upswept outer corner, flattering on round and oval faces
• Tortoise plastic frame - warm amber, brown, and black tones
• Olive brown gradient lens - warm tint with gradient for glare management
• Bling detail on frame - decorative embellishment
• Harley-Davidson script logo
• 100% UVA and UVB protection
• Frame size: 54-17-145 (54mm lens width, 17mm bridge, 145mm temple length)
• Model: HM00011 52F

Bling detail and H-D script logo - the decorative elements: The bling detail on the frame adds a light-catching embellishment that suits the cat eye shape's glamorous heritage - rhinestones or crystal details on a cat eye frame reference the decorative eyewear of the 1950s and 60s, when embellished frames were a standard part of women's fashion. The Harley-Davidson script logo is the brand's cursive signature rather than the block logo or Bar & Shield - a more elegant, fashion-appropriate branding choice for a frame in this style.

Frame size 54-17-145 - what the numbers mean: The 54mm lens width is a medium lens size - smaller than the 62mm of the men's shield but proportional for a women's cat eye frame. The 17mm bridge suits a medium nose width, and the 145mm temple length is slightly longer than standard, providing a secure fit for a wider range of head sizes. Together, these measurements make the HM00011 a medium-fit frame suited to small to medium face sizes - the cat eye shape's upswept outer corner adds visual width, so a 54mm lens width reads larger on the face than the measurement suggests.

100% UVA and UVB protection: The lenses provide full UV protection across both the UVA (315-400nm) and UVB (280-315nm) spectrums - the essential specification for any sunglasses worn outdoors, protecting against the UV exposure that contributes to cataracts and macular degeneration over time.

Tortoise, olive, and bling - the complete palette: The HM00011 52F is one of the more considered colour combinations in the H-D women's eyewear range - the tortoise frame, olive brown gradient lens, and bling detail work together as a warm, vintage-inspired palette that suits the cat eye shape's heritage and gives the sunglasses a coherent aesthetic from frame to lens. It's the pair for female H-D riders and fans who want a sunglass that's as considered in its design as it is in its brand.
