100% protection!
All of our lenses offer UV400 A/B protection. 'UV400' refers to UV rays at the top end of the UV spectrum, up to the 400-nanometre wavelength. Our lenses block 100% of these UV rays, which provides you with the most possible protection you can get.
All our sunglasses have Category 3 lenses which are best for daytime driving conditions — any higher is considered too dark to drive safely. They are also polarised which reduces the glare!
This is why we offer our Free Home Try-On service! If they don't suit you and you have used this feature you can simply return them for free :)
Our sunglasses are backed by a 90 day warranty. If you break them, we replace them! Please view our warranty section to view the terms and conditions.
We sure do! Currently we offer AfterPay so you can wear your new sunnies straight away and pay them off with four small repayments.
Our sunglasses are made from a material called cellulose acetate, which derives from wood pulp!
It is renewable, and much better for the environment than traditional plastic sunglasses which derive from fossil fuels.
What makes our sunnies the strongest?
Cellulose acetate offers superior strength and durability due to its molecular structure, featuring long chains of cellulose molecules chemically modified with acetate groups.
Scientific studies have demonstrated its exceptional impact resistance, attributed to its ability to absorb energy and distribute stress effectively, making it less prone to fractures or cracks even under significant pressure.
Moreover, its flexibility allows for bending without snapping, enhancing its durability and longevity.
To match this, our sunglasses are all fitted with super heavy duty hinges, ensuring there are no weak points.
As soon as you hold a pair of Shade sunnies in your hand, you will notice the insane amount of quality we have packed into our sustainable eyewear, and you will never look back.
A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER - SAM
My passion for sustainability and my desire to make a meaningful
impact on the world led me to create Shade Eyewear.
As someone who cherishes our planet and all its wonders, I couldn’t
stand by while plastic pollution threatened our oceans and wildlife.
With Shade Eyewear, I envision more than just a brand;
I envision a movement.
A movement where individuals like you and me come together to
make conscious choices that benefit not only ourselves but also the
planet we call home.
By utilizing cutting-edge technology to create sunglasses that have
been engineered to outperform regular plastic sunglasses, I want to
offer premium sunnies that are durable and comfortable while
promoting environmental responsibility.
But my journey with Shade Eyewear goes beyond just creating
sustainable sunglasses.
It’s about showing the world that small changes in our everyday
choices can lead to significant positive impacts on the environment.
Together, we have the power to create a brighter, cleaner future, and
give back to the planet that gives us everything. Thank you for joining
me on this empowering journey with Shade Eyewear.
