Thoughtful pricing. The truth.

We price our frames and spare parts to be well made, fairly produced and accessible.

When you buy, you’re supporting local manufacturing, fair wages and a product designed to be worn for years, not just a season.

No shortcuts. No inflated markups.

Sustainability - tell me more!

If you care about this part, here’s the detail.

Our frames are made from 100% recycled plastic and designed as a single material system, making them light, strong, repairable and recyclable.

We manufacture in Sydney so we can control quality, working conditions and environmental impact.

Parts can be replaced rather than discarded, reducing waste over time.

Packaging is 100% recycled and designed to protect, not impress.

We believe sustainability should be built into the product, not added as a marketing layer.

Feel Good Quality

Like a lot of people i was drawn to Good Citizen by your story & mission. I was blown away that you provide meaningful work via your dispatch team as this has personal meaning for me. While all this is awesome it's got to be backed up by a quality product & you do!!
Love my sunnies - light weight but sturdy, stylish, fit is fantastic..I've already had questions about where to get them....ill be back for more.

Hey Loz. This message means a great deal to myself and our small team. We wrestle with so many decisions that make what we do harder but ultimately better for the planet and people. Your supportive words are getting printed off and putting on the workshop wall. Nik

Love my new sunglasses!

After a few weeks of wearing my new sunglasses, I'm very happy - so comfortable to wear. I bought glasses with prescription lenses - they work really well - particularly for gardening, can see what I am doing at last. The process of ordering was very efficient. Thank you!

Hi Julie and fellow gardener! Glad you like the glasses. I've lost and found two pairs that I too wear for gardening. I managed to leaf blow a pair from one end of the garden to the other then find them 6 months later. Nik

Bloody good sunnies

Always had another brand that rhymes with rayvan. These just feel better. Better frames, great quality lenses, more comfortable. Should have made the change sooner.

Wow what a review to get. Glad the product and why were doing this resinates with you. Nik

Light and extremely comfortable

These are great glasses. I now have 3 pairs of readers and one pair of sunglasses. They are so light. I find many of my glasses leave a mark on my nose bridge but these don't. I barely know I'm wearing them.

Hi Oliver, thank you for your kind words and understanding. We're glad you appreciated our communication and refund process. Best Nik

FAQ... go on... it's good to ask.

Will they fit them?

We've stared at and studied more faces than a FBI profiler, so we reckon we know what suits most faces.

Our classic rectangle, round and aviator styles have stood the test of time.

Happy fit
9/10 times our frames fit & suit. The frames can be adjusted easily.

Quality assured and tested

The most awarded eyewear in Australia
Our frames have been awarded for quality & design including 'Best in Class' at the Int. Good Design Awards judged by 50 leading industry experts. Previous winners include Tesla and Dyson - not bad eh?!

German engineered lenses
Our lenses are made by Carl Zeiss Vision, the experts in optical clarity & protection since 1846! Ask Dad about his binoculars - same lens company!

8-step inspection
We make our frames in Sydney and then put each pair through an 8 step inspection process.

Clever repairs
Our modular system of five parts means you can repair your frames forever in seconds without the use of any tools. Genius!

Are the lenses any good?

Did you know your eyes are 10x more sensitive to UV than your skin?

Cheap sunnies = cheap lenses = damaged eyeballs.

Not ours! You'd have to spend north of $350 to get the same quality lenses. We only use the very best lens manufacturer.

Our German lens partner, Carl Zeiss Vision, is the 'Top Gun' of lens making. They make all our reader, prescription and sun lenses.

Engineered optical perfection & peace of mind your eyes are fully protected.

All lenses are UV400 and offer 100% protection.

Are you really sustainable?

The word 'sustainable' is over used and confusing. This is our version of sustainable.

100% recycled frames
We make and control the manufacturing of our frames in Sydney to make sure no one nor the planet is harmed. And no cheap labour!

End of life
We take back broken parts and entire frames to be recycled. Please email us and we’ll give you the free Reply Paid address to send them to.

Less CO2
Because we use only 100% recycled plastic in our frames, we use 70-75% less CO2 in our manufacturing than almost all other brands who use virgin materials (brand new plastic/ bioacetate).

Less waste
Our manufacturing process is zero waste. Every piece of our off-cut plastic finds a new home.

Less energy
Because we've reengineered the frame, we use less energy in our production. We make a frame in 90 seconds instead of the typical 100 hours.

Sunnies made by the sun
Our manufacturing partner has installed some serious solar panels on the factory roof. We only runs our frame making machines in the day to take advantage of this renewable power. Good thing the suns always shining in Sydney!

Lenses
Our lenses are manufactured by Carl Zeiss Vision in Hong Kong. We cut and fit our lenses at Zeiss in Adelaide.

Box, case & cloth
All are made from certified 100% recycled materials in our certified factories in China (via our local agent in Sydney).

Plastic removal
Through Plastic Bank, we prevent plastic waste from reaching the ocean. The process 100% traceable and certified. Each pair sold stops 0.5kg (equiv. to 25 plastic bottles)

Carbon removal
We lock away 10kg of CO2 through C2Zero who uses Mastercard Blockchain.

Delivery
We use compostable mailing satchels that you can bury in your garden and we use Australia Post's carbon neutral postal service.

2500+ failed attempts. A story like no other

From the gut-wrenching lows to big wins like Selfridges London giving us an entire window next to Prada, a feature in Forbes US and speaking at the United Nations, our story of hope and determination has made news headlines around the world.

Let's untrash the planet® together.
