Sustainable and ethical sunglasses for responsible style. When it comes to curating men’s and women's fashion, sunglasses are considered the ultimate finishing touch and contrary to popular belief, their use isn’t limited to the summer months. Nothing oozes uber-cool like a pair of sunglasses on a gloomy winter’s day.

Here at Nash + Banks, we have an ethical and sustainable sunglasses edit that puts meaning into your accessories. The latest drop of fashion sunglasses are available from our online shop, and range from edgy D-frames to classic cat-eye silhouettes. There’s something for every face shape, and we offer expert guidance on that part to make sure you choose a pair that fits and flatters.

Why should I switch to sustainable sunglasses?

Anyone can buy fashion sunglasses online. We go a little deeper than that. Our range of sunglasses has been carefully selected for their eco-friendly principles, ability to protect eyes against the sun’s rays, comfort and, of course, their cool factor.

The frames you’ll find on the Nash + Banks online store when buying fashion sunglasses online are made from bio-acetate. What that means is that the sunglasses are crafted using bio-based plasticisers made from renewable, natural sources, instead of opting for oil-based ones. This is what gives your sunglasses a hint of flexibility, rather than brittle, easy-to-break pairs from years gone by and allows them to biodegrade at the end of their life.

Each pair of men’s and women’s fashion sunglasses in the Nash + Banks edit have their own nuances that hint at their exceptional quality and environmentally-conscious creation. Watch out for:

Bio-acetate produced from natural cellulose

Natural red sandalwood

Natural zebra wood

Natural vera wood

Carl ZEISS lenses offering 100% UVA/UVB protection

Additionally, ethical sunglasses in Australia really need to pull out all the stops when it comes to UVA and UVB protection. It’s a little known fact that there are 500 times more UVA rays in sunlight than UVB. Always look for 100% protection from the sun’s harmful rays.
