Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Are they UV protected?
Yes! All of our lenses have 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays.
What are UVA and UVB rays?
The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, the skin's thickest layer. UVB rays will usually burn the superficial layers of your skin. It is important that your eyes are protected from these rays. Our sunglasses offer 100% UV protection from both UVA and UVB.
How do I know which size to order?
The majority of our frames will fall into our “Average” size range. For more information about sizing check out our Size and Fit for each collection or try our Virtual Try On.
Where are your frames made?
Our frames are made in Greece.

Care & Use
How do I clean my glasses?
Each glasses pair comes with a cleaning cloth to keep the frames clear of particles and a case to store your glasses. Do not leave your glasses in your car, as heat from the car causes the acetate to warp and flex out of alignment. Be sure not to lay your glasses face down on any surfaces or to expose them to rough textures such as sand. Do not use any chemicals on your lenses as they may strip away their coating. Use light mineral oil on metal frames to give them additional shine. When glasses are not worn, they should be kept in the case for protection.
My frames sit crooked, are they damaged?
No, your frames are not damaged and this is an easy fix. The organic material that the sunglasses are made from has flexible properties when it is exposed to warm temperatures. Therefore, with a few small adjustments, you can mold the frames for a custom fit. We take extra steps to ensure every frame is 100% level prior to shipping them to you. However, due to the nature of the material, the frame may need to be readjusted after they are delivered to you. You can take them to a local optician to have them adjusted to your face and we will reimburse your costs. This process is very quick and only takes a matter of seconds to level unbalanced frames as shown in the video below. Please contact our Customer Support Team for additional assistance or inquires.
