Kuboraum P-Series Masks Explained: P1, P2, P9, P10, P20 and P23
Compartir
Quick answer: Of the six P-series masks here, P1, P2, P9, P10 and P23 each come as both eyeglasses and sunglasses, while the P20 is listed as sunglasses only. The only size we have on file is for the P10, which is 50-21-145 in both versions. For the P1, P2, P9, P20 and P23 we do not have a size listed, so ask us or check the product page. These six are a good place to start.
Why the P series is worth knowing
Kuboraum names its frames masks, and every mask is dreamed in Berlin and handmade in Italy. The letter in a code is a family and the number picks the model within it; our Kuboraum mask naming guide explains the system. In this post we look at six P models and what we can say about each from our own product data.

The six masks one at a time
MASK P1
The P1 has the widest colour range of the group on the sunglass side. The MASK P1 sunglasses are listed in ten colours, including Black, Yellow Tortoise, Musk Green, Teal and Pink Havana. The MASK P1 eyeglasses are listed in Bordeaux and Black Shine Kaki.
MASK P2
The MASK P2 eyeglasses come in four colours, among them Black Shine with Aquamarine and Transparent Peach. The MASK P2 sunglasses come in five, including Fuchsia, Pale Yellow and Foliage Green.
MASK P9
The MASK P9 eyeglasses are listed in Mint, Fuchsia, Black Shine Cream Dark Grey and Black Shine. The MASK P9 sunglasses are listed in Orange. If you are choosing between the P9 and its neighbour, read Kuboraum P8 vs P9.
MASK P10
The P10 is the one P model where we can give you numbers: 50-21-145, meaning a 50 mm lens, a 21 mm bridge and 145 mm temples. The MASK P10 eyeglasses come in five colours and the MASK P10 sunglasses in four, including Peach Ice Tea and Cyclamen.
MASK P20
The MASK P20 sunglasses are listed in Transparent Cyclamen and Tortoise. We do not list an eyeglass version of the P20.
MASK P23
The P23 comes as sunglasses in Transparent Bordeaux and as eyeglasses in Desert, one colour each.
Which P mask has the most colour choice?
By colour count the P1 sunglasses lead with ten listed colours, followed by the P2 sunglasses with five and the P10 eyeglasses with five. At the other end, the P9 sunglasses, the P23 sunglasses and the P23 eyeglasses each have a single colour listed. Since most Kuboraum colours are stocked as a single piece, a model with many colours gives you more fallback options if your first choice is unavailable. A model with only one colour is best treated as a decide-quickly purchase, and you can leave your email on the page if the frame is unavailable.
Using the eyeglass and sunglass twins
When a mask comes in both types, the two versions share a size. That is why the P10 figure of 50-21-145 applies to its eyeglasses and its sunglasses alike. If a colour you love is unavailable in one version, check the twin's page, since another colour of the same model may suit you. The Kuboraum sizing guide explains how to compare these numbers with a frame you already own.
Reading the colour names
Each colour on a Kuboraum page has a name followed by a short code, for example Peach Ice Tea - PT on the P10. The name tells you what to expect, and the code is what the maker uses, so quote either one when you call and we will know which piece you mean. Two colours on the same model can share a first word, such as the several Black Shine options on the P2, so the code helps to tell them apart.
What to do when a size is missing
Five of the six masks above have no size on file, and we would rather say so than guess. In practice that means one of three things. You can call the shop and ask about the model code. You can visit the boutique in Roswell and try the frame on. Or you can pick the P10 as your yardstick: if the P10's 50-21-145 suits you, bring that number with you when you ask about the others. Whichever route you take, the colour lists above are the ones currently in our shop, so confirm that the colour you want is still available before you plan around it.
