Saint Laurent SL901 HOWL Sunglasses
Elongated Sunglasses with Sharp Saint Laurent Minimalism
In black acetate, the Saint Laurent SL 901 Howl feels sharper, darker, and even more controlled. The elongated silhouette becomes cleaner and more architectural, turning the frame into a pure expression of Saint Laurent’s after-dark attitude.
Designed with slim close-fitting proportions and fluid lines, the silhouette sits naturally on the face while maintaining a strong fashion presence through shape alone. The elongated structure sharpens the expression instantly, but the disciplined restraint of the design keeps the frame polished rather than aggressive.
The black acetate gives the Howl a colder and more monochromatic identity. Every line feels more defined, every proportion more deliberate. Combined with the dark tinted lenses, the silhouette carries the unmistakable tension between minimalism and glamour that defines Saint Laurent eyewear.
Crafted in Japan from premium acetate, the frame features a hand-polished finish that enhances the depth and richness of the black construction. Slim temples engraved with subtle Saint Laurent detailing preserve the purity of the silhouette and allow the proportions and structure to remain the focus.
The dark tinted lenses provide full UVA and UVB protection while reinforcing the composed and unreadable visual character of the frame. In black, the SL 901 Howl feels especially cinematic — sharp in daylight, almost nocturnal after dark.
What makes this version especially compelling is its precision. Nothing distracts from the silhouette. No excess, no unnecessary detail — just pure proportion, sharpness, and attitude carried effortlessly.
Ideal for:
- slim monochrome styling
- fashion-forward everyday sunglasses
- elongated minimalist silhouettes
- wearers looking for sharper Saint Laurent frames with a darker edge
The overall effect feels sleek, instinctive, and impossible to separate from Saint Laurent’s signature after-dark world.
SAINT LAURENT — sharp glamour reduced to silhouette and shadow.

Size and Fit
I understand the importance of a proper fitting frame. Not every frame fits every face, which is why we have a wide selection of frame sizes to choose from.
There are no rules – just guidelines we suggest to help you find frames that not only look great but fit perfectly.
HOW WE SEE YOU
Size definitely matters. We determine size by the width of your face. We offer multiple sizes so that you can find the right frame for your face.
If you already wear glasses, we recommend looking at your current pair as a size reference. If you still have doubt we are here to help you with professional advice.
BRIDGE – INTERNATIONAL OR ALTERNATIVE/ASIAN FITTING
Acetate nose pads: Made from Italian or Japanese acetate. Comfortable, classic fit. Recommended for those who prefer the look of acetate.
Metal nose pads: Made from silicone or ceramic. Soft, flexible, anti-allergic. Recommended for those needing additional support for less prominent nose bridges or more prominent cheekbones.
FIND YOUR FACE SHAPE
Oval
Balanced and slightly narrow, the oval face is a canvas for experimentation. Almost any silhouette will look good on you. Luxury lies in the choice.
Heart
Wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow jawline. This shape is expressive and romantic. Choose a sharp-edged or gently curved cat-eye shape or a balanced aviator shape that softens the contrast and emphasizes the proportions.
Square
A strong jawline, higher forehead, and symmetrical brow line characterize this sculptural face. Choose rounded or elliptical frames to soften the angularity and enhance natural strength with graceful restraint.
Rectangle
Long and slender, with delicate lines. Here, it is worth choosing frames that give width and dimension to create harmony. Oversized or deep-set profiles bring visual balance to the more elongated shape.
Triangle
Defined by a more pronounced jawline, a finer forehead, and an elegant contrast between cheekbones. Choose round or square frames with sharp lines that harmoniously balance the proportions.
Round
A full face and delicate contours radiate warmth and symmetry. In contrast, square frames elongate and define the face.
There are no rules – just guidelines. Explore, get inspired and choose frames that make you feel confident, happy and most importantly, yourself.
