Sustainability
We’ve made a commitment to keeping things sustainable.
Our sunglasses are hand-crafted using high quality cellulose acetate, a renewable and biodegradable material made of wood produced in sustainably managed forests and cotton fibers. Taking things a step further, all of our ‘Black’ and ‘Eco Tort’ frames, along with selected others, are created with bio-acetate, which uses vegetable-based plasticizers to be even more sustainable. We have recently also introduced Acetate Renew, an acetate made using recycled materials in a revolutionary recycling method, for a reduced carbon footprint without compromising on quality.
We use CR-39 lenses in all of our frames. These are created to be highly shatter proof and scratch resistant in order to withstand the test of time.
The production of eyewear is naturally low in water and energy usage.
Our packaging is composed of a biodegradable, vegan leather pouch, a cleaning cloth and a recyclable card box. We ship our sunglasses in a card box using landfill-biodegradable packing tape and paper labels, or cornstarch based envelopes.
Our designs may be inspired by the past, but our focus is firmly on creating a beautiful and lasting future— one so bright, you’re going to need a good pair of sunnies.
