Why we exist

Every pair is a place

Black's Beach. Anza Borrego. Dana Point. We name every frame after a real spot on the California map, because sunglasses are not really about UV ratings. They are about where you were when the light got good.

Handcrafted wood and plant-based acetate, polarized UV400 lenses, spring hinges built for years of glove-box life. Frames that feel like the place they are named after.
