    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.

    “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!”
