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

When will my sunglasses arrive?

We make our sunglasses in Sydney and dispatch standard orders the same day, Monday to Friday. Delivery times depend on your location, but most Australian orders arrive within a few days.

If you choose prescription lenses, allow up to 14 days for your sunglasses to be made before dispatch.

Are the lenses any good?

Yes. Very.

Your eyes are 10 times more sensitive to UV than your skin, so we do not mess around here.

All lenses are optical grade, UV400, with 100 percent UV protection.

Your eyeballs will approve.

Are these the most comfortable glasses in the world?

We think so.

We spent 18 months designing the nose bridge. Not the logo. The bit that sits on your face all day.

They are seriously light too. Each frame weighs about the same as a 600ml plastic bottle.

No red nose dents. No pressure points. No mid afternoon swearing.

What is the modular thing?

Think Lego. Simple and clever.

Our sunglasses are made from five modular parts, so you can customise them or fix them if life happens.

No tools. No optician. No bin.

You will feel smug. That is normal.

Will these glasses make you a better person?!

Probably ;)

(In a good way.)

They quietly say you have great taste, don’t love shouty logos, and appreciate considered design.

The hinge is distinctive. Fellow Good Citizens spot it instantly.

Standing out for the right reasons is allowed.

Made in sunny Sydney. Does that matter?

Most brands tell you where their glasses were designed. We tell you where they are made.

We make ours in Sydney, under our watchful eyes, using robots for precision and people where it matters.

Our lenses are fitted in Sydney.

Every pair goes through an 8 step inspection process before leaving our workshop.

The 10 second sustainability test

Most eyewear brands love talking about sustainability. Very few love being specific.

Here is the test. If you cannot quickly find where the glasses are made, and what they are made from, something is off.

No fluff here.

We make our frames in Sydney from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles. We control the process, the quality, and the impact.

We designed the system, and now we teach it as part of the Australian school curriculum. That is how seriously we take it.

We have had to buy a bigger awards cabinet

Small brag. Big proof.

We are the most awarded eyewear brand in Australia, including Best in Class at the International Good Design Awards. Previous winners include Tesla and Dyson.

We also won Best Fashion Accessory from Marie Claire UK and sat in a Selfridges London window next to Prada for three months.

Not paid. Just respected.

2500+ failed attempts. A story like no other

Two kids. 2,503 failed attempts.

One plastic bottle turned into award winning eyewear made in Sydney.

Forbes. The UN. Selfridges window next to Prada.

They still hold 50% of the vote.

Loving my new good citizen sunnies

Not sure which I like more - the sunnies themselves or the story surrounding them. Safe to say I’m loving both!

Another Happy Customer

I’m very happy with my Photochromatic, Progressive lens glasses. They work well and I use them as my driving glasses, reading glasses and sunnies !
They are well made and look fantastic.
I now own four pairs of Good Citizens !
That’s how good they are.
Get yourself a pair NOW !!!

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

Andrew Eisenhuth (Sydney, AU)
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

Great glasses, can see really well.

Received these after already having a pair of sunnies. Great fit, love the change angle of the arms tutorial on website. Love these glasses, will stick with this brand moving forward. Great they are made in Sydney, not offshore. Love em'.

Love them!! So much nicer than what’s available in regular optical outlets. The fact that they are made of recycled plastic is such a plus.

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.

Great service and product

For a bloke who leaves his readers in cabs, planes and restaurants all over the country and world - these ares so comfortable and cool it’s a great motivator to be more careful with them. That being said I did buy another pair just in case!

Solid brand

Good quality sunglasses. Unfortunately weren’t able to fulfil my glasses order due to my prescription but communicated well and refunded promptly. Thanks.

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

Stephen Stewart (Moruya, AU)
Overall happy with purchase

Good product and communication except arrived dirty and covered in plastic dust, didn’t leave a good first impression.

Hey Stephen, thanks so much for the kind words and honest feedback. I’m sorry the first impression wasn’t spot on. The dust sounds like tiny fibres from the inside of the new cloth case and should come off with a gentle blow or wipe in seconds. We avoid wrapping the frames in a small plastic bag inside the case, as it goes against what we’re trying to do as a brand. Really appreciate you letting us know. Nik

Lewis Hunt (Sydney, AU)
Great product

Great product. Have nailed the design. If you tire of your colorway simply spec some different arms and clips and you've got a new look. Comfortable and the prescription lens are far more cost effective than the traditional route of a bricks and mortar purchase.

Thanks Lewis. Appreciate the kind words. We're trying to do business differently so this means a lot. Nik

Jacob Campbell (Brisbane, AU)
Great job team.

Great to see and Australian made and owned product that is environmentally friendly. I own 3 pairs of the Palm beach and they are fantastic, black, orangeade and lemonade. Have let several of my colleagues try them on and they look great. If you’re on the fence, commit. You won’t be disappointed.

Arms - Black

Great to swap out the Fluro Green arms with black for my readers, but now I need more Nik! So begins the build journey! Amazing product, lightweight and branded discreetly, love my new pair of reader, arms and clips!

lol sorry Trent. Yes the modular parts makes it alot of fun to mix up your frames. We have been toying with the idea of making just say 20 of one shade of arms and never repeating it. Appreciate your support. Had a big day in the Sydney factory today. All will be revealed soon... Nik

Newport Readers 1.5

What does one say, simply amazing product. I am already looking at another pair, to change them up more, hugely diverse in design colours and clips... Thanks Nik and Harry and family! 100% Grouse glasses!

Wife steals them from me!

Enjoyed my first pair of these amazing frames in Lemonade colour. So I ordered another pair in Ocean Blue colour. I got home and my wife had opened my package and decided to them her own. What to do, ordered another pair. Yeah they are this good!

The only sunglasses that haven’t broken.

I can’t remember when I bought these glasses- it could have been about 5 years ago. These sunglasses are the only pair I have never broken. They have been sat on, dropped, been squashed in handbags, never kept in a protective case. And they are still just as good as the day I purchased. I bought some for my partner. We both love them. If they ever do break, this brand will be the only brand I will purchase. Well done on making a great product that lasts, and that you feel good about buying… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Lucille, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! I'm so chuffed to hear our Palm Beach 2.0 Sunglasses have stood the test of time for you and your partner. Your support means the world to us. Cheers to many more years of great use! I'll show your message to the kids at dinner tonight! Nik
