Product details.

Frame
Made in Sydney from one 100% recycled single-use plastic bottle. Our rPET is refined through advanced reprocessing to deliver exceptional strength and finish.

Super lightweight for all day comfort.

Lenses
Premium clear CR39 lenses. Prescription sun lenses UV400. CAT3. 100% UV protection.

Modular design
Each frame is made of 5 parts: front, two arms and two hinge clips.

Zero metal. Zero screws so every part clicks in and out in seconds. You can customise or repair each part without replacing the whole frame.

Thoughtful pricing. All good.

We price our glasses to be well made, fairly produced and accessible.

When you buy a pair, 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.

FAQ - Prescription Options

Do you do prescription sunglasses?

Yes we do prescription sunglasses and clear. You select your lenses after uploading your script.

Can I get computer distance lenses?

Yes you can if your optometrist has given you a script for intermediate. It will be marked on your script so choose single vision reading lenses, upload your script and then email to let us know you want computer/intermediate lenses.

Can I get lenses that change from clear to sun lenses when I go outside?

Yes you can. Simply select ‘light responsive lenses’ when prompted.

Do you do multifocal lenses?

Yes we do. They are called progressive lenses in our ordering process. (The top half of the lens is for long distance and bottom half is for close up).

What lenses do I choose if I want to be able to see into the distance as well as read with the same pair of glasses?

These are called multifocal or progressive. Select progressive if you want both in one lens.

You sure can. Order sun lenses, select non polarised and then email to let us know what coloured lenses you’d like.

Yes we can and you can still order online, but you’ll need to email us so we can give you some additional instructions. Please email

Quality and Sustainability

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?!

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 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!

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 Clean Hub, 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)

Delivery
We use recycled mailing satchels use Australia Post's postal service.
