Now the Most Awarded Eyewear in Australia
We didn’t set out to win awards.
We set out to make eyewear the right way. Designed properly. Made locally. Built to last. Set up as a business that includes people who are too often excluded.
Somewhere along the way, people noticed.
Good Citizens is now the most awarded eyewear brand in Australia. Recognition has come from very different places, from international Good Design Awards to being named Best Fashion Accessory by Marie Claire UK. We have also received social enterprise awards for the way we have created meaningful employment for people with disabilities.
None of this came from chasing trophies. It came from quietly backing an idea we believed in and sticking with it when it would have been easier to compromise. Doing the work. Making choices that felt right, even when they were harder or slower.
These awards matter, not for ego, but because they signal something bigger. That good design and responsibility can sit side by side. That fashion can have substance. That businesses can succeed while doing the right thing.
We’re genuinely humbled by the recognition. It reminds us that there is room for a different way.
