FAQs

The material used in our frames is organic cellulose acetate. The cellulose acetate is made by the world leading Italian manufacturer Mazzucchelli.

They originate from renewable and hypoallergenic sources of wood pulp and natural organic cotton fibres. We also use Eco-friendly, nickel-free stainless steel for some frames and our durable hinges.

We’ve picked these materials to reduce the impact on the environment, which means if you choose to wear SummerEyez, you’re not only making a fashionable choice, you’re also making a sustainable one, and what’s not to love about that!?

The most important part of your sunglasses are the lenses and ours are designed to keep light out of your eyes while remaining unique. We know you want sunnies that complement your style and SummerEyez are designed with you in mind to keep those good-vibes alive.

SummerEyez lenses are polarised and made from a resin called CR-39, blocking 100% of UV 400 radiation & reduces glare with a polarised filter - which is the highest level of eye protection you want to have when wearing sunglasses.

Watch How Our Frames Are Made

We've partnered with a world class manufacturer in China, where all of our frames are meticulously handcrafted to the highest specifications - using only the best sustainable materials on offer.

Ultraviolet light, or UV light, is electromagnetic radiation produced by the sun. These are harmful rays that can severely damage our eyes and skin, even if the sun isn’t “out.”

Our lenses block 100% of all light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nano-meters, including both UVA and UVB rays (which destroy the parts of our skin that provide firmness and elasticity).

When we say they are polarised lenses, we mean they are made with a special film to filter reflected light and reduce glares. These special films are the saviours that allow you to see the colours of the cocktail you’re sippin’ poolside, or the endless blue ocean while lying on the beach.

Without polarised protection while out and about under the sun (or even grey skies), our depth and colour perception is reduced, views are distorted, and sometimes we can become temporarily blinded.

Our world is too beautiful to not be able to see thoroughly, so we want to make sure your eyes are protected in the best way while basking in sunny days.

Most sunglasses brands sell through retailers and distributors, adding on mark-up along the way and by the time it reaches you it’s almost triple the cost.

We have partnered with a best-in-class manufacturing facility and everything we manufacture is made according to the highest specifications and from quality sustainable materials that will never let you down.

We’re glad you asked! We use CR-39 polarized lenses which are extremely high quality. They provide the best optical quality that is very similar to real glass without the heaviness, uncomfortable-ness, and proneness to scratches and breakage that glass has – so keep planning those adventures, these shades will keep up!

Yes! Our movement to reduce environmental footprints doesn’t stop with our sunglasses. The packaging (including the box!) we use to ship your orders is recycled material and recyclable as well, so once you receive your new SummerEyez, simply toss the packaging in the recycling bin!
