Recycled material+
The frame is made from recovered neoprene wetsuits, ground into powder and bound with a bio-based resin. Since each pair comes from recycled material, the pigments and shades can vary slightly depending on the batch. That's what makes every frame unique.
Manufacturing+
Handmade in our workshop on the Arcachon Bay. Our ground material, reduced to powder, is injected into aluminium moulds: each piece is moulded then finished one by one, by hand. Small batches, made to order.
Lenses+
Divel bionylon lenses, bio-based from castor oil. 100% UV protection, category 3. Available polarized or not, in several tints (smoke blue, G15 green).
Care & use+
Clean the lenses with the cloth provided and a little soapy water. Store your glasses in their cork case when you're not wearing them, and avoid leaving them exposed to strong heat for long periods.
Reshaping the frame: if the frame or temples warp slightly with heat, you can reshape them. Gently warm the affected area, reshape it carefully, then run it under cold water to set the shape. Never force it: handle gently, as an optician would.
Shipping & returns+
Made to order: shipped within 10 to 15 days. Returns and exchanges accepted within 30 days, provided the product is in new condition.

Quality is there, the polarized lenses are perfect on the water. Shipping a bit longer as it's handmade, but worth the wait.
Beautiful frame, impeccable finish. I take off one star as I'd have liked more colours, but the product is great.
I was looking for an eco-friendly pair with no compromise on style. This is exactly it. Light, beautifully finished, and the thinking behind the material truly makes sense.
Polarized lenses perfect for my sessions at Cap Ferret, zero glare on the water. And knowing it's a recycled wetsuit, I love the idea.
Lovely quality and responsive customer service when I had a question about the fit. I take off one star for the lead time, but it's handmade so that's understandable.
Gifted to my surfer boyfriend, he never takes them off. The packaging and cork case are superb — it makes a really classy gift.
Made in France, recycled material, impeccable look. You can tell it's a product designed by enthusiasts. I recommend it with my eyes closed.
