Acetate, titanium and 18K gold, made by hand

VIEUX is an Australian eyewear house founded on the Gold Coast by father and son Paul and Jack Surman. Paul brings more than three decades in eyewear and a lifetime spent near the ocean. Jack brings the eye of a photographer and musician. Every frame is handcrafted by artisans who have worked alongside Paul for years.

Each frame is built from premium acetate over a Beta Titanium core, with 18K gold detailing and laser-etched finishing. It is a kind of construction you feel in the hand before you fully understand it, and it is why the frames read as quiet.

These are sunglasses for real light and long days. The glare coming off the bay, the drive down, the kind of travel where you take one pair. Choose the colour that settles into your wardrobe.
