    Frames:
    Made from cellulose acetate. A renewable, plant based material derived from wood pulp. There is no oil or mining involved in the manufacturing of our sunglasses frames like there is with traditional plastic.

    Benefits:
    - Stronger than traditional plastic. More impact resistant and flexible allowing for a longer lifespan
    - Hypoallergenic
    - More comfortable as it is a soft/smooth material
    - Unique colorways and transparency

    Lenses:
    Triacetate cellulose lenses are made up of 6 unique layers offering optimal clarity, UV protection and durability.

    6 unique layers:
    Polarization layer - this central layer is responsible for reducing 99% of glare by filtering out reflected light from surfaces like water, snow or roads.
    Benefits: Provides clear, comfortable vision and reduces eye strain. Also improves clarity.

    UV400 protection layer - responsible for blocking out 100% of UVA/B rays up to 400 nanometers. This is the maximium protection you can get for your eyes.
    Benefits: Protecting your eyes from UV damage.

    Scratch resistant layer - This is a coating that protects the lenses from scratches.
    Benefits: Longer lasting eyewear and clearer lenses.

    Anti-reflective layer - Minimizes reflections especially from the backside of the lens.
    Benefits: Improves visual comfort and reduces eye strain.

    Impact resistant layer - Adds strength to the lenses, making them less likely to break during impact.
    Benefits: Increasing the lifespan of the glasses, less likely to break when dropped or squashed.

    Hydrophobic and Oleophobic layer - Repels water, oil and dust from the lens surface.
    Benefits: Keeps the lenses clear, clean and easy to maintain.

    Hinges:
    Heavy duty hinges made from nickel silver.

    Benefits: Optimal durability, less likely to break when dropped, stretched or squashed.

    Wire Core:
    This is the "pin" in the arms of our sunglasses, also made from nickel silver.

    Benefits: Extra durability and enhanced stiffness. (Without this the arms would be extremely flexible)
    Added unique aesthetics and luxury feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes our sunnies the strongest?

Cellulose acetate offers superior strength and durability due to its molecular structure, featuring long chains of cellulose molecules chemically modified with acetate groups.

Scientific studies have demonstrated its exceptional impact resistance, attributed to its ability to absorb energy and distribute stress effectively, making it less prone to fractures or cracks even under significant pressure.

Moreover, its flexibility allows for bending without snapping, enhancing its durability and longevity.

To match this, our sunglasses are all fitted with super heavy duty hinges, ensuring there are no weak points. 

As soon as you hold a pair of Shade sunnies in your hand, you will notice the insane amount of quality we have packed into our sustainable eyewear, and you will never look back.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER - SAM

My passion for sustainability and my desire to make a meaningful
impact on the world led me to create Shade Eyewear.

As someone who cherishes our planet and all its wonders, I couldn’t
stand by while plastic pollution threatened our oceans and wildlife.

With Shade Eyewear, I envision more than just a brand;
I envision a movement.

A movement where individuals like you and me come together to
make conscious choices that benefit not only ourselves but also the
planet we call home.

By utilizing cutting-edge technology to create sunglasses that have
been engineered to outperform regular plastic sunglasses, I want to
offer premium sunnies that are durable and comfortable while
promoting environmental responsibility.

But my journey with Shade Eyewear goes beyond just creating
sustainable sunglasses.

It’s about showing the world that small changes in our everyday
choices can lead to significant positive impacts on the environment.

Together, we have the power to create a brighter, cleaner future, and
give back to the planet that gives us everything. Thank you for joining
me on this empowering journey with Shade Eyewear.
