Nurtured on the shores of Australia’s Bondi Beach, Le Specs sunglasses are the OG rule-breakers when it comes to making you stand out from the crowd. Le Specs shades are all about giving you that extra pop of confidence so you can face your every day, whether it’s in bold statement-worthy colors or classic tones that are imbued with effortless sophistication. Plus, Le Specs is keen on premium quality sunglasses that embrace individuality and quality without breaking the bank. Originally founded by the cosmetics brand Australis in 1979, Le Specs sunglasses arrived on the scene with a splash when they were created alongside a line of sunscreens – the perfect companion. Then, in 2005, Australian eyewear distributor Sunshades acquired the licence for the name and appointed creative director Hamish Tame to helm the brand. Since then, the brand has developed a global reputation as the ultimate summer accessory with an effortless trans-seasonal appeal. In 2016, the brand experienced its true turning point after a collaboration with designer Adam Spelman produced the now-infamous “Lolita” shades – inspired by the iconic glasses from the Stanley Kubrick film. It’s thanks to Le Specs that these miniature cat-eye shades are back in style. Le Specs has released a wide range of different signature shades over the years, such as the metal inlay collection, featuring a luxurious pinstripe metal plate inlaid along the top of each design for that effortlessly chic aesthetic. Le Specs also offers a wide range of polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from surfaces, so the true color of objects is left undistorted. In keeping with the brand’s commitment to quality, Le Specs has also released a line of sunglasses with handmade Rx lenses, which offer superior optical clarity and 100% UVA/UVB protection. Beyond providing premium quality and individuality without costing an arm and a leg, Le Specs is also committed to reducing environmental impact through sustainable business practices and packaging that includes a recycled jersey pouch and a recycled cardboard box. Le Sustain is Le Specs’ line of sustainably created frames and styles, created with a natural fibre composite, which consists of 23% cellulose fibres obtained from meadow grass and 77% recycled plastics. Le Sustain is sold in packaging that is made with zero-waste material. Today, Le Specs sunglasses have amassed a trendsetting reputation having been spotted on some of the most influential celebrities of the decade, such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Zayn Malik, and Justin Bieber.
