The Lele Kawa is a stylish classic-shaped sunglass from Maui Jim that features premium materials and lens tech. Its frame uses a carbon fibre construction (for durability and lightness) and it includes the brand’s high-end lens options. According to Maui Jim’s South African site:
“Our Lele Kawa polarised sunglasses are built to withstand the test of time. This frame features the debut of our newest frame material, carbon fibre.”
It is listed under the “Classic” category, with a medium-to-larger face size. One retailer shows it as R 3,690 in South Africa for a certain colourway.
