Lunettes de soleil en acétate

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. It is also hypoallergenic and lightweight, making it better than plastic. Acetate is a high-quality material used in our frames to guarantee long durability and comfort. Sunglasses made with acetate are more resistant to pressure placed on them. We also use them in our frames to be able to bring you a variety of different styles while remaining sustainable.

As mentioned earlier, acetate is eco-friendly because it is plant-based. It is derived from wood pulp and cotton, unlike plastic which is entirely synthetic. The fact that it is plant-based makes it more biodegradable than plastic and hence eco-friendly. 

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.

When buying a pair of acetate sunglasses frames, we usually look to buy a durable pair that will last a long time. The tortoise shell pattern is a classic that barely goes out of style, making it a fan favourite. You can stay fashionable for years while rocking a fabulous pair of tortoise acetate sunglasses. We also have different takes on the classic tortoise sunglasses with frames like the Cosmo sunglasses.
