As the drive for sustainability is a focal point in today's consumer market, it is not hard to imagine that an eco-friendly eyewear brand will find much success. An eco-chic and conscious company opened its first store in Toronto and the business is of Australian descent. Dubbed 'Dresden,' the company hopes to bring high-quality, sustainably-made and affordable prescription glasses and sunglasses. The eco-friendly eyewear is inspired by German design, combining playful and aesthetically pleasing silhouettes with practicality. The durable and lightweight frames are designed for men, women, and children and they are fully customizable.
Dresden also boasts a closed-loop manufacturing system and a zero-waste policy. Its product is fully recyclable and the brand often engages in limited edition releases of eco-friendly eyewear that is made out of wood composite, recycled Australian money, plastic lids, and ocean waste.
