Mascom International stocks the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses at KSh 2,500, with polarized lenses, a UV400 rating and an anti-scratch coating set in a black square frame. Each pair is brand new and sealed in its retail pack. They come from Porodo, whose Lifestyle range covers fashion pieces alongside the brand's phone accessories. The Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses are plain eyewear with no electronics, so there is nothing to charge or pair, and they are ready to wear from the moment you open the pack. Collect yours from Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD, or have them sent to you.
Built for motorists, boda boda riders, estate agents showing properties at midday and anyone who spends long hours outdoors across Kenya, the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses tackle the bright reflections that bounce off roads, car bonnets and glass towers. Squinting through a drive along Mombasa Road or Waiyaki Way gets tiring fast. Polarized lenses filter the flat, horizontal glare behind that discomfort, so shapes and colours look clearer. The square black frame suits a work shirt in Upper Hill as easily as a weekend outfit in Naivasha.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops leave eyewear to street hawkers, Mascom International sells branded sunglasses with a written warranty and a counter where you can try them on. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want shades that survive a few months in a handbag or glovebox without the lenses clouding over. The Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses answer that with a coated lens surface and a clean, simple shape.

Common Questions About the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses
How much are the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses in Kenya?
The Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses cost KSh 2,500 in Black, sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. Your KSh 2,500 also buys 6 months of cover on frame and hinge manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, meaning you inspect the pair before any money changes hands. M-Pesa, card and cash are all accepted, both at the shop and at your door. Unlike unbranded shades sold in town, this pair comes with a receipt, which you keep as proof for any claim on the frame or hinges.
What does UV400 mean on the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses?
UV400 means the lenses of the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses filter ultraviolet light with wavelengths up to 400 nanometres. That band covers both UVA and UVB, the two kinds of ultraviolet in ordinary sunlight. Kenya sits on the equator, so the sun stays high and strong for most of the year, from Kisumu to Malindi. A UV400 label is a lens filter rating, and it tells you more than a dark tint alone, since tint depth says nothing about ultraviolet filtering.
How do these polarized sunglasses compare with cheap shades sold on the street?
The Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses add a polarizing filter, a UV400 rating and a scratch-resistant coating, which unbranded street shades rarely state or prove. Many hawker pairs only darken what you see, so glare off a wet road still bounces straight back at you. They also come with no warranty or receipt. Pick a cheap pair as a throwaway spare for a single event. Pick the Porodo pair if you want daily wear with a shop standing behind it.
Are polarized sunglasses good for driving on Kenyan roads?
Polarized lenses suit driving because they cut glare from tarmac, wet roads and the rear windows of matatus ahead of you. On the Thika Superhighway at 4 PM, with the sun low and bright, that makes lane markings and brake lights easier to pick out. Keep them off at night and in tunnels, since any tinted lens reduces light. Boda boda riders gain too, especially on dusty murram roads where reflected light and grit combine.
Will polarized lenses make my phone or car screen hard to read?
Polarized lenses can make some phone, ATM and car dashboard screens look dim or patchy when held at certain angles. This happens because many LCD screens use their own polarizing layer, and the two filters partly cancel. Tilting the phone usually brings the picture back, so checking M-Pesa messages or Google Maps stays easy. If your car's display goes dark, try the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses at our store with your own handset before you buy.
Which face shapes suit the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses?
Square frames like the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses tend to flatter round and oval faces, because the straight lines add definition. On a face with a strong jawline, they create a bolder, more angular look. The black finish is unisex, so men and women both wear it. Face shape is only a guide, though, and personal taste matters more. Try a pair on at Mascom International and check yourself in the counter mirror first.
How do I keep the anti-scratch coating on these sunglasses in good condition?
The anti-scratch coating on the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses resists light scuffs, though rough handling can still mark any lens. Wipe the lenses with a soft microfibre cloth, never a shirt corner that may carry grit or dust. Rinse off sand after a day at Diani or Watamu before wiping. Store them folded in a case rather than loose in a pocket with keys and coins. Avoid leaving them on a hot dashboard for hours.
Who should buy the Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses and who should skip them?
The Porodo Lifestyle Trendy Square Frame Sunglasses suit drivers, riders, travellers and outdoor workers wanting branded polarized shades at an accessible price. They fit a gift budget, too, for birthdays, graduations or Christmas. Skip them if you wear prescription glasses, because these lenses carry no prescription; an optician can fit tinted prescription lenses instead. Skip them as well if you prefer a round or aviator style, since this frame is strictly square.
