Our Environmental Mission

Every pair makes a difference

Sustainable Wood Sourcing

Responsibly Sourced Materials

We exclusively use FSC-certified wood from sustainably managed forests. Our bamboo and reclaimed wood options ensure minimal environmental impact while maximizing durability and style. Each frame is crafted from materials that would otherwise go to waste, giving new life to beautiful natural resources.

Our lens technology incorporates recycled materials and bio-based plastics, reducing petroleum dependency by 70% compared to traditional eyewear. We partner with local suppliers to minimize transportation emissions and support regional economies.

Carbon Neutral Production

Our Melbourne workshop operates on 100% renewable energy, and we offset all shipping emissions through verified carbon credit programs. For every pair sold, we plant a tree through our partnership with local reforestation initiatives, contributing to ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation.

We've eliminated single-use plastics from our packaging, using only compostable and recyclable materials. Our innovative packaging design doubles as a storage case, extending the utility of every component we send to customers.

Our Crafting Process

From raw material to finished product

Step 1: Material Selection & Preparation

+

Each frame begins with carefully selected sustainable wood varieties including bamboo, walnut, maple, and reclaimed timber. Our artisans inspect every piece for grain quality, density, and natural character. The wood undergoes a proprietary stabilization process that enhances durability while maintaining its natural beauty and unique patterns.

We hand-select each piece based on its grain structure and natural coloring, ensuring that no two pairs are exactly alike. This attention to detail means every customer receives a truly unique product that showcases nature's individual artistry.

Wood Selection Process

Step 2: Precision Crafting & Shaping

+

Using traditional woodworking techniques combined with modern precision tools, our craftsmen shape each frame by hand. The process involves careful routing, sanding, and refining to achieve the perfect ergonomic fit. Every curve and angle is meticulously crafted to ensure comfort and durability.

Our artisans spend an average of 6 hours on each frame, applying multiple grades of sandpaper and hand-finishing techniques to achieve a silky smooth surface that feels luxurious against the skin while maintaining the wood's natural texture.

Step 3: Assembly & Quality Control

+

High-quality polarized lenses are carefully fitted using stainless steel hinges and screws. Each pair undergoes rigorous quality testing including stress tests, UV protection verification, and comfort assessments. We ensure perfect alignment and smooth operation of all moving parts.

Our final inspection process includes a 48-hour wear test by our quality team, checking for comfort, durability, and optical clarity. Only frames that meet our exacting standards receive the Sunhaze certification and eco-friendly packaging.
