Lenten | Tort | Biodegradable

Our hexagonal Lenten frame in biodegradable tort acetate embodies our vision to create vintage inspired and beautifully handmade sunglasses using the highest quality sustainable materials.

Handcrafted in a renewable plant based material called Cellulose Acetate. Our Cellulose Acetate is made from wood pulp which is sourced from FSC approved sustainable forestry and made using biodegradable plasticisers instead of traditional chemicals. This allows the material to completely degrade over 5 – 10 years when buried in soil, landfill or in water.

CR39 lenses offer high UVA and UVB protection.

The packaging is also sustainable, any boxes, envelopes and information cards we use are all made using ethically sourced recyclable paper. Any plastic looking bags you might see used in our packaging are biodegradable. Once they are left in soil or water they will biodegrade within a couple of years. Our case used to keep your sunnies safe is made from water based PU which is made from a solvent free, non-polluting production process. This process uses 95% less water than traditional PU manufacture and has a natural level of biodegradability.
