The Maui Jim ALULU MJ878 Sunglasses bring a fresh take on cat-eye style with a bold silhouette that balances retro glamour and modern edge. Named after the Hawaiian word pronounced “ah-loo-loo,” these sunglasses feature exaggerated upturned corners offset by a flat frame bottom—a design that’s both distinctive and flattering. The full-rim acetate frames come in three sophisticated colors: Gloss Black, White Tokyo Tortoise, and Dark Tortoise, each paired with premium polarized lenses.
What sets Maui Jim apart is the patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology found in every pair. These lenses don’t just darken your view—they eliminate 99.9% of glare, block 100% of harmful UV rays, and enhance color through a proprietary blend of rare earth elements that boost reds, greens, and blues. The ALULU features SuperThin glass lenses, which are 32% thinner and lighter than standard Maui Jim glass while delivering the absolute crispest optics available. SuperThin glass also offers superior scratch and solvent resistance.
The Neutral Grey lens option provides the highest light reduction for rich colors and sharp contrast in bright, direct sunlight, while the HCL Bronze lens offers a warm tint with excellent contrast for varied, everyday conditions. Both are available in SuperThin glass, polarized, and include anti-reflective treatment on the backside to eliminate bounce-back glare, plus an oleophobic coating that repels water, oil, and smudges.
With 56mm lenses, a 19mm bridge, and 145mm temples, the ALULU offers a medium fit that works particularly well for those who need a wider frame. The saddle bridge design ensures comfortable all-day wear. These sunglasses are prescription-ready through Maui Jim’s MauiPassport program, which uses MauiBrilliant lens material for prescription orders (note: SuperThin glass is not available in prescription). The frames are made in Italy and meet all impact standards, though they’re designed for sun protection rather than safety eyewear.
The ALULU delivers crisp, vibrant visuals with a frame that stands out. The cat-eye shape adds a touch of vintage-inspired sophistication, and the combination of premium optics and durable construction makes these sunglasses a reliable choice for daily wear.
