Polarised lenses and saltwater-resistant components

Our frames are entirely recycled  - absolutely zero virgin plastic

The world's most premium and sustainable lenses

We'll replace and recycle your frames for free, forever

We're supplied by Barberini, regarded as the producer of the world's best optical quality lenses - famous for producing opticals for the likes of Maui Jim. 

We use glass lenses, over cheaper plastic lenses for three key reasons:

Optical Quality - Mineral glass has by far the greatest optical clarity of all lens materials, with an Abbe value of 59 (vs. 32 for polycarbonate). 

Sustainability - Recycled plastic lenses do not exist. Glass is infinitely recyclable, and doesn't produce microplastics when cut to shape. 

Scratch Resistance - Our sunglasses are designed for the beach, which means sand - the enemy of most sunglasses. Our chemically hardened polarised glass is substantially more scratch resistant than other lenses, and exceeds all international impact resistance tests.
