Police Eyewear Frames & Sunglasses: Italian Rebellion Meets Urban Cool, at Prism Eye Care

Two brothers in Belluno, Italy. Thirty workers. A small factory called Charme Lunettes that made sunglasses for other brands. That was the setup in the early 1980s. Then Ennio and Giorgio De Rigo decided to stop building frames for other people's labels and create their own.

They named it Police. Not after law enforcement, but after the sunglasses American cops wore in movies: the kind of cool, mirrored, no-nonsense shades that said something about the person wearing them without saying a word. The year was 1983, and the brand took off almost immediately. Within a decade, Police did something nobody else in the industry had done: they introduced blue mirrored lenses. That single move defined the brand's visual identity through the late 80s and early 90s and turned Police into a global phenomenon.

Forty years later, Police is De Rigo Group's flagship house brand, distributed in over 100 countries. Bruce Willis, George Clooney, David Beckham, Antonio Banderas, Neymar Jr, and Lewis Hamilton have all been brand ambassadors. The brand is also the official eyewear partner of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. That is a roster that tells you exactly what Police stands for: urban confidence, bold style, and a refusal to play it safe.

At Prism Eye Care, we carry police eyewear frames across sunglasses and optical styles for men and women. Every piece is sourced through authorized channels with full warranty and brand certification.

Blue Lenses, Eagle Logos, and Wingtip Temples: Reading the Police Design Language

Police eyewear has a visual vocabulary that has evolved over four decades but stays consistent in attitude. Here is what to look for when browsing the collection.

The blue mirrored lens is the original Police signature. While the brand now offers a full range of tints (gradient grey, brown, green, classic smoke), the blue lens remains the most iconic option and has been re-released multiple times, most recently for the brand's 40th anniversary in 2023. If you want a pair that immediately reads as Police, the blue mirror is the one.

The eagle logo appears across the collection as an engraved, embossed, or applied detail on the temple. It symbolises freedom and fearlessness, and alongside the Gothic letter "P," it is one of the brand's most recognisable identifiers. The eagle was reimagined for the 40th anniversary collection with a new commemorative version.

Wingtip temple detailing is a recurring structural element on many police eyewear frames. The temple tip extends outward in a subtle flare that adds a sporty, aerodynamic quality to the frame profile. It is a detail borrowed from automotive and motorsport design, which makes sense given the brand's F1 partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas.

Police Eyewear for Men: Confidence Without a Costume

Police eyewear for men is the backbone of the collection. The men's range is wide, covering everything from classic aviators and squared shields to rectangular optical frames and slim metal profiles. Colourways lean dark and metallic: matte black, gunmetal, dark Havana, gold, and of course, blue.

Styles to look for:

• Classic aviator sunglasses with blue mirrored or gradient lenses, slim metal frames, and the eagle logo on the temple
• Squared shield sunglasses with bold acetate construction and the wingtip temple detail for a modern, sporty look
• Rectangular metal optical frames with the Gothic "P" branding on the temple, suited for prescription use and daily professional wear
• Semi-rimless styles with a lightweight, clean profile that works across corporate and casual settings

Police eyewear for men works for the buyer who wants his frames to carry some edge without crossing into flashy territory. If your style sits somewhere between a tailored blazer and a leather jacket, Police occupies that exact space. These are frames that look right on a Saturday ride through HSR Layout and a Monday morning in Rajajinagar.

Police Eyewear for Women: Urban Energy, Refined Proportions

Police eyewear for women has grown significantly from the brand's original unisex roots. The women's collection now includes cat-eye shapes, oversized squares, and rounded profiles with softer colour options including rose gold, champagne, transparent pink, and gradient tortoiseshell.

Styles worth exploring:

• Oversized cat-eye sunglasses with gradient lenses and polished metal temple accents
• Rounded acetate frames in warm tones with the eagle logo in tonal or contrasting metal
• Slim rectangular optical frames with the wingtip detail for a sporty-chic everyday look

Police eyewear for women appeals to buyers who want frames with presence and personality, not delicate femininity. If you are drawn to brands like Carrera or Oakley for their energy but want something more fashion-forward, Police sits in that sweet spot. The urban attitude is there, but the proportions and colours are refined enough for an evening in Indiranagar or a workday in Jayanagar.

Police Eyewear Price in India: Bold Italian Design, Honest Pricing

Police eyewear price in India at Prism Eye Care typically ranges from Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 16,000, covering both sunglasses and optical frames. Limited-edition anniversary models and F1-inspired collections may sit slightly higher.

That puts Police in a competitive mid-premium bracket, alongside brands like Lacoste and Calvin Klein. The difference is in the attitude. Where those brands lean towards clean minimalism, Police leans into bold design: blue mirrors, eagle logos, wingtip temples, and motorsport references.
