    Frame Information

    Our cork frames were born from a customer’s request for eyewear that floats, and they deliver. Each pair is:

    - Handcrafted in our Woodstock, Cape Town workshop from recycled cork, fabric off-cuts and recycled plastic

    - Lightweight, durable and surprisingly buoyant (yes, they float and bounce)

    - Finished with robust spring hinges

    Every frame is pressed under 15 tons of pressure at 90°C and bonded with a bio-resin made from 40% tree sap. The result: frames that are lightweight, resilient and built to move with you.

    Wear with Purpose

    - Certified B Corporation and 1% for the Planet member.

    - Buy One, Give One: for every frame sold, we give a frame to a schoolchild in need of glasses. Eye tests and lenses are provided by the African Eye Institute.

    - We plant a tree for every pair sold online, and our shipping is carbon positive.

    Prescription

    Order online: on our prescription frames, choose your lens and upload your prescription when you add to cart (or email it after ordering). Prescription orders ship within 10 working days.

    The DIY route: any Ballo frame can be fitted with prescription lenses by your own optometrist.

    In store: pop into our Cape Town workshop or stores with your prescription and we’ll handle the rest.

    Shipping & Warranty

    - Free courier shipping on all eyewear, locally and internationally. Orders ship in 2-3 working days.

    - Every pair arrives in a hard magnetic case with a microfibre pouch.

    - 12-month warranty against manufacturing faults (excluding lenses), free lifetime repairs (labour is always free) and easy 30-day returns. Full details

    “What an amazing company, I bought a pair of sunglasses six months ago and damaged them quite badly, they repaired them in a few short hours for me as I was only in Cape Town for two days. I'm so incredibly impressed.”

    “I stumbled upon the shop in Cape Town and found the designs very original. I got myself a pair of shades... made in Cape Town, upcycled and the buy one-give one programme gave a meaningful sense to my purchase.”

    “Finally got a chance to get out on to the water this weekend and do some fishing. Your polarized lenses have really been the best add to my gear, really helped my eyes deal with this Cape Town summer sun on the water!”
