CHILDE DESIGN AND PRODUCE OUR EYEWEAR WITH THE BEST BOUTIQUE, FAMILY OWNED, ITALIAN OPTICAL MANUFACTURERS
An independent Australian brand creating superb eco eyewear to enhance your style and vision while focusing on a healthier, more sustainable planet.
The CHILDE eyewear collection is designed in Byron Bay and hand made in Italy by boutique, family owned, optical manufacturers.
CHILDE use sustainable, eco-friendly and bio-degradable materials wherever we can.
The CHILDE Eyewear collection is defined by 2 distinct eco-sensitive frame materials and design aesthetics.
Crafted from premium Mazzuchelli M49 bio-acetate which is made from organic compounds of wood and cotton pulp fibres. Built to last a lifetime as eyewear but is also 100% bio-degradable under controlled industrial composting conditions of International standard ISO 14855.
M49 Bio-Acetate is 100% eco-friendly, 100% bio-degradable and 100% recyclable.
Sunglass frames are made from a plant based grilamid polymer made from 61% renewable resources. This polymer is petrochemical free and dramatically reduces carbon emissions.
To compliment our eco conscious frames we now use plant based bio lenses that are light, scratch resistant and provide premium optical clarity.
