Pala Eyewear

Pala is a British eyewear brand born from an ideology rooted in ethics and aesthetics. We are on a journey towards a sustainable fashion future. We want to protect our planet, and to do this we need to make our designs as sustainable as possible. As each season passes, we are continuing to innovate now offering both recycled acetate and bio-based designs housed in eco-friendly recyclable packaging and with carbon offset shipping. Let’s start from the top. When it comes to producing our sunglasses, we are always looking for ways to progress. It’s early days but our move towards a more sustainable future gets closer with the release of our recycled acetate styles made from otherwise wasted factory offcuts. From 2020 onwards all new styles added to our collection will be exclusively Italian bio-acetate. Most sunglasses are made from acetate due to its durability, flexibility and high quality; a natural material (made from cotton wood fibres) but with added oil-based plasticisers. Bio-acetate? Those plasticisers are entirely biodegradable meaning the material is 100% plant based with no extra nasties. And equally important, all of our sunglasses are vegan and cruelty-free.
