Sleek Eco-Acetate Sunglasses

Outerknown & Otis Eyewear Join Forces to Launch New Sunglass Capsule

— June 29, 2022 — Eco
Sustainable clothing brand Outerknown has teamed up with Australian label Otis Eyewear to launch a new sunglass collection dubbed 'Otis Eyewear x Outerknown.' The concise new capsule delivers five new styles all made from an "Eco-Acetate" that is entirely biodegradable. According to the company, the unique material used in the frames -- Eco-Acetate -- is made from a combination of plant matter and cotton seeds.

What's more, each pair comes equipped with mineral glass lenses that are recyclable but still completely scratch-resistant. In addition, the lenses are polarized, meaning they greatly reduce glare. In terms of packaging, the sleek new sunglasses come in their own recycled PU leather cases, which also feature a recycled suede cleaning cloth.

For those interested, the entire collection is now available to purchase on Outerknown's website and at select physical retailers.
