What does that mean? Their Bio-Series frames will degrade on their own over time, but, even better, they can be composted (turned into soil). These new shades are paired with their “Unlimited Renewals” program allowing to you send back your old shades in exchange for half off a new pair. They will then take your old glasses and either recycle or compost the parts.

It’s truly a worry-free sunglass disposal plan!

Check out their Kickstarter campaign and let’s help make this amazingly green fashion accessory a reality!

The color was exquisite and a bold choice but looked dashing under the lights as … Read more!
