Shipping & Returns
We ship in crush-tested cartons with inner buffers and tamper seals. Transit images are logged before dispatch for chain-of-custody.
Returns are straightforward. Keep the unit and all components in original condition and we process quickly after inspection. We state timing and eligibility on the product card, and we answer with specifics, not templates. If a carrier mishandles a parcel, our internal photos and records help resolve it fast.
Product Care
Caring for MM210 01 is simple. Clean lenses with the included cloth and a pH-neutral lens spray; never dry-wipe dust.
Store the frame in its case away from heat sources or a car dashboard. Ask your optician to warm-adjust temples instead of bending cold. If you plan aftermarket lenses, have a pro bench cut them to avoid stress at the lens seat. Our team shares safe edging guidelines on request.
Size and Fit
The frame suits small-to-medium widths and shines on round or oval faces that benefit from straight lines. Low-bridge wearers get stable contact without harsh pressure.
Our fitting notes: the temples track straight, hinge tension is consistent, and the frame sits level when balanced. On narrower faces, the black outline reads bold but not heavy. On wider faces, we check temple spread and adjust tips to keep pressure off. If you need micro-adjustments, our team shares clear instructions your optician can follow.
Purchase Protection
You should feel safe here. Qualifying orders are protected if something rare goes sideways.
Coverage applies when the item materially differs from its description in color, condition, materials, or measurements; when you receive the wrong item; or when authenticity cannot be verified by our team. If any of that happens, we step in and fix it with clear options. No runaround.
Gentle Monster MM210 01 — Maison Margiela Collaboration
This is the MM210 01 in deep black, from the Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela capsule. It's sharp, minimal, and built to hold its line in real life and in photos.
Our gentlemonsterkubo.com team curates this unit because it balances avant-garde edge with daily wear. It sits beside Kubo in our lineup, but the MM-series temples and lens shaping give it a different attitude. If you're comparing silhouettes across the collection, this one reads clean and confident with a sleek rectangular front.
What is MM210 01 and who is it for?
MM210 01 is a black acetate sunglass with a refined rectangular silhouette, tuned for medium faces and anyone who wants structure without noise.
The design stakes out that middle ground: not oversized, not skinny, just disciplined. The Maison Margiela collaboration keeps the lines sculptural, with clean finishing and understated branding. If you've been looking at our gentle monster glasses overview and want a collab frame that stays wearable, this is the one we hand to clients first.
Price and availability
Price is $430 USD and the unit is in stock as listed. We do not list phantom inventory.

Design notes from our studio photos
The product photos show a deep black gloss front, low-rectangular lens windows, and straight temples with clean edges. The lenses are dark and uniform for a crisp, graphic read.
The proportions are intentional. The front height is compact, so the brow stays sharp under caps and hoods. The finish is smooth; reflections track evenly across the acetate, which is what we expect from a premium cut-and-polish. Co-branding is subtle, staying out of the way of the geometry.
Specs and what you get
MM210 01 is a black (code "01") acetate sunglass with UV-protective lenses, metal-core temples, and precise finishing. Packaging includes the branded case, cloth, and documentation matched to the batch.
You're here for the details. Material is dense acetate with a clean gloss; hardware is firm and aligned; lenses are dark and protective. We log each unit's micro-details in our archive against your order ID so we can support you later if needed.

All three live in the same design language, but they wear differently. MM210 01 is the clean black benchmark; MM209 01 reads slightly different at the lens window; MM210 01 BR adds warmth without changing the architecture.

Authentication and QC we run on this unit
We authenticate by system, not by hunch. Each pair is verified before listing and again before shipping.
Our checks include packaging and documentation verification, material and logo review under magnification, lens inspection under raking light, hinge torque measurement, and temple alignment. We archive micro-photos and notes for traceability. If a unit fails any step, it never goes live. That's why our returns stay low for the right reasons.
Cost-per-wear logic for real-world value
Value is not hype; it's math. If you actually wear your frames, the number drops fast.
Use the simple formula: CPW = Price ÷ Wears. Here's how MM210 01 shakes out at $430 across common scenarios.
| Wear Count (days) | Formula | Cost per Wear |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $430 ÷ 100 | $4.30 |
| 200 | $430 ÷ 200 | $2.15 |
| 365 | $430 ÷ 365 | ≈ $1.18 |
