Buy Sunglasses from Urba Vista
URBA VISTA lists sunglasses on DoorToShop. How the range is organised, what the frame materials mean, and three numbers that decide whether pair fits.
URBA VISTA lists sunglasses on DoorToShop — around 38 styles between roughly $40 and $70, in TR90, acetate and metal frames. Eyewear only: no other apparel.
Every style is named like a person — ARCHER, BELLA, IVY, KNOX — which looks charming and tells you nothing, so the photographs and the listing details are what to go on. Where the same name appears twice in the store, those are the same frame in different colourways rather than a duplicate listing.

The Three Numbers That Decide the Fit
Buying eyewear online works fine once you know your size, and your size is already printed on a pair you own — in small figures on the inside of one arm, usually written like 51-18-140:
Find a pair that already fits you.
Any pair — prescription glasses count. The size is printed in small figures on the inside of one arm, and it is the single most useful thing you can know before buying eyewear online.
Read the three numbers.
They run in the same order on almost every frame: lens width, bridge width, then temple length, all in millimetres, usually written like 51-18-140. Lens width is across one lens, bridge is the gap over your nose, temple is the length of the arm.
Compare them with the listing.
Where a listing gives measurements, match yours against them — the first two matter most for whether a frame sits right. A difference of a millimetre or two is nothing; five is a different frame.
Ask if the listing does not give them.
Not every listing publishes measurements. Asking the store for the three numbers is a normal question and takes them a moment to answer.
If you have nothing to measure from, use total frame width.
Measure across your own face from temple to temple and compare that with the frame's total width. It is a rougher guide than the three numbers, but it will keep you out of a frame that is obviously too wide or too narrow.
What the Frame Materials Mean
TR90
A thermoplastic used widely for frames. It is light in the hand and has some flex to it, which is why it turns up on wraparound and sports-leaning shapes. It is moulded rather than cut, so it comes in solid colours more often than patterns.
Acetate
A plant-based plastic cut and polished from sheet. Heavier than TR90 and thicker in profile, which is what gives chunky frames their look, and it takes colour and tortoiseshell patterning that moulded plastics cannot. An optician can usually warm and adjust it.
Metal
Thin profiles and the classic aviator construction. Metal frames often have separate nose pads that can be bent to sit better, which is the easiest kind of frame to fine-tune after you buy.
Mixed construction
Plenty of frames combine them — a plastic front with metal hinges or brow bar, for instance. Where it matters to you, the listing is the place to check rather than the photograph.
Lenses are the other half, and the more important one. UV protection, polarised and mirrored lenses, and the AS/NZS lens categories — including which are not legal to drive in — are covered in our guide to buying sunglasses. Lens details for any particular pair are on its own product page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does URBA VISTA sell?
Sunglasses. The store lists around 38 styles on DoorToShop, priced between about $40 and $70, with frames in TR90, acetate and metal. Eyewear only — no other apparel.
Why are the products named ARCHER, BELLA, IVY and so on?
They are style names rather than descriptions, which is normal for eyewear — a frame shape gets a name and keeps it across colourways. It does mean the name will not tell you what the frame looks like, so the photographs and the listing details are what to go on.
Why does the same name appear more than once?
Because those are separate listings of the same style in different colours or finishes, not the same item listed twice. Open both and compare the photographs.
How do I know what size to order?
Look at the inside of the arm on a pair that already fits you — sunglasses or prescription glasses. Three numbers are printed there, in millimetres and in this order: lens width, bridge width, temple length, usually written like 51-18-140. Compare those against the measurements in the listing, and ask the store for them if they are not shown.
What is the difference between TR90, acetate and metal frames?
TR90 is a moulded thermoplastic — light with some flex, common on wraparound shapes. Acetate is cut from sheet, heavier and thicker in profile, and takes patterns like tortoiseshell that moulded plastics cannot; an optician can usually warm and adjust it. Metal gives thin profiles and often has adjustable nose pads, which makes it the easiest to fine-tune after purchase.
How do I choose between lens types?
That is a separate question from the frame, and a more important one. Our guide to buying sunglasses covers UV protection, polarised and mirrored lenses, and the AS/NZS lens categories — including which categories are not legal to drive in.
Are the lenses polarised, and do they block UV?
That varies by style and is stated on each product page. Read the individual listing rather than assuming it applies across the range, and ask the store if a listing does not say.
Can I get the frames adjusted if they do not sit right?
Often, yes — an optician can usually adjust acetate frames with heat, and bend the nose pads on metal ones. Most charge little or nothing for a small adjustment on frames you did not buy from them, but ring first.
How fast is delivery?
Orders are dispatched by the store the next business day and typically arrive within 1 to 3 business days by courier. Enter your postcode at checkout to confirm delivery coverage for your address.
How much does delivery cost?
The base delivery fee is $5 NZD, with free delivery on orders above $69 — the exact amount is confirmed at checkout. There is no minimum order value.
What if they do not fit when they arrive?
Contact the store, and DoorToShop support if you need help reaching them. Returns and exchanges are handled by the store that sold the item, and nothing in a store's policy limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 — but checking the three numbers first saves everyone the trouble.
