More sustainable sunnies.
The Costa frames are fantastic thanks. I have been getting lots of positive comments from friends and colleagues.
The retro look at its best. These McQueen are perfect to wear to upgrade any look!
Our sunglasses are more sustainable. A first to the local NZ market with sustainable lenses. Our frames are crafted from sustainable, non-plastic substrates along with signature hardware for improved durability.
"I love these - they are weighted and feel great on the mask. The frame design is perfect! The black goes with any occasion. Love the work team!"

-
Our eco-friendly lenses deliver superior durability, clarity, and safety, blending fashion with sustainability in eyewear.
Whilst a lot of eyewear companies are focused on sustainable frame material, we are looking to the future with a fully sustainable offering.
Why acetate?
Each frame is expertly handcrafted from biodegradable premium Italian cellulose acetate which is a sustainable material, derived from cotton and wood pulp.
This material will completely breakdown when buried in soil or landfill over time, making it better for you and the environment.
Not only is acetate more earth friendly than plastic, it is also more durable and malleable; being able to be reshaped over time and able to outlast inferior materials often utlised in the construction of sunglasses.
