Punta Loca's Singularidad eyewear line comes in two colours: Singularidad Black and Singularidad Burgundy. Same silhouette. Same handmade Italian process. Same recycled acetate. Same €230.
The difference is entirely colour. Which one is right for you?
Quick answer
Get Black if: this is your first pair of good sunglasses, or you're building a slow-fashion capsule where every piece needs to work with everything else. Black is the versatile daily driver.
Get Burgundy if: you already own a good pair of black sunglasses, or you're the kind of person who prefers pieces that get a compliment. Burgundy is the statement.
What Black gives you
Singularidad Black is deep, glossy, and beautifully anonymous — the kind of anonymous that reads as intentional taste, not lack of choice. The acetate sheet has a faint marbling that catches light differently at different angles, so it's never a dead flat black.
Works with everything. Black jeans, white dresses, hand-painted leather, beige linen, resort wear. There is no outfit where black sunglasses are wrong.
Photographs cleanly. If you post outfit shots or work in a role where you appear in photos regularly, black sunglasses don't compete with the rest of the look. They complete it.
Reads as classic. Black frames have been the shape of premium eyewear for a century. You will not tire of these.
What Burgundy gives you
Singularidad Burgundy is a red-brown so deep it reads as black from across a room and reveals its true colour up close. Think oxblood, wine, dark garnet. Not "colored sunglasses" — sunglasses that happen to be a rich, unusual tone.
Adds to an outfit without dominating it. Wear them with jeans and a plain white tee, and suddenly the outfit reads as considered rather than casual. They do the styling work for you.
The burgundy-on-burgundy move. If you own the Transformer Burgundy Leather Coat, the Burgundy sunglasses complete a monochrome burgundy look that is objectively excellent.
Compliment magnet. Almost nobody wears burgundy sunglasses. That's the point. You will be asked about them.
What they share
Both pairs go through the same 40 hand-finishing steps in the same solar-powered atelier in northern Italy. Both are cut from recycled cellulose acetate (plant-based, environmentally lighter than virgin plastic). Both have a semicolon etched inside the right temple — a writer's mark meaning: the sentence isn't over.
Both are unisex. Both are limited drops.

The both-of-them move
Some people own one of each. Black for photos and daily wear; Burgundy for the days they want to be looked at twice. If your budget allows and you'd wear both, that's the least regret-heavy answer.
The tie-breaker
If you can only own one, get Black. It's the pair you'll wear every day. Then next drop, add the Burgundy.
If you already own good black sunglasses from another brand: get Burgundy. It fills a gap in your wardrobe rather than overlapping.
