Andy Wolf has made a new addition to the AWearness family, AW06, made from bioacetate, available in two colorways with a panto form. The new AW06 style features three-dimensional and ergonomic facets, and each component has been meticulously crafted to ensure a timeless quality. The AW06 model includes a clip-on accessory that features high-quality Zeiss sun lenses capable of providing full protection against UVA and UVB rays. These clip-ons are handcrafted at their facility located in France. Additionally, the clip-ons possess an integrated closing block that permits the use of blue filter lenses or reading glasses glazing. In line with the AWearness frame design philosophy, the AW06’s clip-on combines classic and innovative elements. Unlike conventional clip-ons, it conforms to the frame’s contour rather than the lens, imbuing the model with a distinctive shape. The versatile nature of the AW06 as both an everyday companion and a pair of sunglasses is another manifestation of its sustainability features.

The Swiss Eyewear Group is committed to protecting the environment and has broadened its range of eco-friendly and sustainable products by launching the new Invu’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection. The Invu’s new sustainable collection is entirely crafted from recycled Pet bottles. Sadly, Pet bottles that are discarded in landfills take several centuries to decompose and become soil. Invu, however, transforms Pet bottles into pellets, which are then repurposed to create fashionable and high-quality eyewear. Invu takes their commitment to sustainability a step further by exclusively utilizing a hundred percent recycled materials to manufacture the sunglass case, cleaning cloth, and attractive point of sale display. Invu provides again eco-friendly eyewear at an affordable price point for all those who want to protect our planet.
