Traditional sunglasses are a problem
Most sunglasses are made today without thinking about the future
-
Petroleum Inputs
42% of all global emissions can be linked to petroleum inputs, which are what most sunglass plastics are from
-
Fragile Design
55% of adults break at least one pair of sunglasses annually, which fills up landfills and creates demand
-
Unsustainable Future
Continuing to make sunglasses in this way is ruining our natural world for generations to come
Our armfree sunglasses are a solution
-
Bio-Based
Made from materials that reduce environmental impact, so they rest easy on your conscience
-
Simplified Design
The failure points of traditional sunglasses don’t exist on Stringies, so they last a long time
-
Locally Assembled

We’re frustrated with the current status-quo of skewing details to increase sales. Instead we choose to have total transparency about every product and decision we make.
Stringies is our effort to redefine sunglasses and their impact.
