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

  • 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

    Global trade is not beneficial for the natural world nor factory workers, so strive to not participate

Even still, they’re not perfect. That’s okay.

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.
