Sunglasses

Sunglasses are the one thing you wear on your face every day of summer, so they are worth choosing with care. We keep a small edit of frames we genuinely love to wear, shaped for real faces and Peninsula light, from French acetate to Australian eyewear made to last.

From our edit

Frames we would happily wear every day

We do not try to stock every frame. We look for eyewear that holds its shape and its character, made by houses that care about how acetate is cut and how a hinge feels in the hand. If a frame does not earn its place on the shelf, it does not go on the shelf.

The eye matters more than the range. We would rather carry a handful of shapes we can stand behind than a wall of options that leaves you guessing. Fewer things, chosen well, so the choice in front of you is already a good one.

In this category that means VIEUX, the French house working in rich acetate and warm timber tones, alongside Sunday Somewhere, the Australian eyewear label loved for its sculptural cat-eye and easy everyday frames, and the clean architectural lines of Bresac.

Questions, answered

What is acetate?

A plant-based material cut and polished into frames rather than moulded. The colour runs through the material itself, so tortoise and champagne tones have depth, and the frame carries a weight that sits properly on the face.

How do I choose the right shape?

Contrast your face rather than echo it. Softer rounded frames suit a stronger angular face and a defined cat-eye or squared frame balances a rounder one. Tell us what you already wear and we will point you to the one.

Are the lenses polarised?

It varies by house and by style, so each product page states the lens. If you want polarised for the water or the drive, message us and we will tell you which frames have it.

Do you offer complimentary shipping?

Yes, Australia-wide, packed in their case, and you are welcome to collect from Red Hill.
