Acetate Sunglasses

Acetate sunglasses are frames made out of plant-based plastic. Acetate is a sturdy, impact and water-resistant material which retains its colour and brightness for quite some time. Many eco-friendly brands have opted for acetate as not only is it sustainable but durable. It can also be designed in different patterns and colours, such as tortoise shell or pink. If you’re looking for a unique pair of acetate frame sunglasses, we have plenty of different styles that will cater to your taste.

Acetate is a plant-based, non-petroleum product allowing it to be stronger, more durable and more flexible than regular plastic.

Yes, the durability of acetate sunglasses frames comes as a result of its manufacturing process.  Acetate frames are formed by pressing together numerous sheets of acetate. The colours are embedded within the sheets of acetate when they are moulded by mixing in organic dyes and acetone. Unlike plastic, acetate’s colour isn’t directly painted or sprayed on the frame once it is cut and finished. Also, they hold more pressure; hence they can be bent further before breaking.
