Each pair of NANUSHKA sunglasses has been crafted using the best sustainable materials and techniques, Including hand finishing and shaping in the manufacturing process.
The frames are cast from 68% bio-based plastic, made from natural and renewable materials such as FSC-certified wood pulp, vegetable starch and bioethanol. The plastic of the frame also breaks down to natural matter in a compost environment. The Divel lenses are bio-based as well, comprising 39% castor oil. Bio-based materials help to lessen the impacts in relation to fossil fuel extraction and production, ultimately reducing CO2 emissions.
The pouch is made from deadstock supplies of our signature cruelty-free vegan leather. Upcycling fabric helps to lessen the amount of waste going into landfills and, by using old materials instead of new ones, to reduce CO2 emissions.
The cloth is made from 100% GRS-certified recycled polyester, helping to close the loop between resource-intensive fabric production and growing piles of textile waste.
