      Frame Information

      Our durable, water-resistant wood frames are handcrafted in our Woodstock, Cape Town workshop from a blend of wood and recycled paper compounds:

      - Laminated together using a bio-resin (40% tree sap) under 15 tons of pressure at 90°C

      - Built with robust spring hinges for lasting strength and comfort

      Sustainably made, these frames develop a natural patina over time, creating a finish unique to the wearer.

      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.

      “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.”
