EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES
Transforming the environment and providing a sustainable living.

For every pair of eyewear sold, 1 kg of plastic waste is cleaned up and recycled.
THE REVIVALS
Super sustainable sunglasses.
Our Freshwater Revivals and Saltwater Revivals sunglasses marked the beginning of our journey into using the innovative nylon-6 material to produce modern sunglass frames. Their success was followed quickly by the release of the Malizia, and later the Watchtowers - as we continue to design and build sustainable, durable, and best-in-class eyewear.
Recycled fishing nets are fused into a highly durable and resistant nylon 6 polyamide.
TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE
The Malizia.
Team Malizia are sailing to raise awareness for climate change. We chose to partner with them to create the world’s most sustainable sailing sunglasses, the Malizia.
Designing the Malizia marked our first step in exploring more sustainable materials for manufacturing performance sunglasses.
With frames made of 85% recycled fishing nets, along with the Revivals they are our most sustainable sunglasses yet.
For every pair of Malizia sold, we donate 10 mangroves to the Malizia Mangrove Park.

MALIZIA MANGROVE PARK
10 mangroves planted for every pair sold.
Approximately 1/3 of the world’s mangrove stocks have been destroyed over the last 40 years. We are proud to be doing our part to support the Malizia Mangrove Park. On a mission to plant 2 million mangrove plants, they are helping to conserve some of our most vulnerable marine and coastal environments.
