It’s hip to be square.

European design and engineering.

We meticulously sourced and rigorously tested components to create the best pair of sunglasses possible. The frames? Designed in Italy and crafted with durable acetate from Mazzucchelli 1849 — the worldwide leader in manufacturing cellulose acetate for eyewear. The lenses? They’re developed in Germany by ZEISS, one of the few major lens manufacturers that still produce manual focus lenses. Top that off with best-in-class, Belgian-engineered OBE hinges, and this is the result.

Sun-tested for UV protection.

Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with ZEISS OM15 lenses that offer high optical quality and protective tinting. UV can damage your eyes over time and contributes to age-related eye conditions or diseases. These lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection with anti-scratch technology to keep them looking their best while they protect.

"While I knew I'd love the shape of these sunnies, I had no idea how impressed I'd be by the quality."
