Must-have: recyclable sunglasses from Xandres
SPRING-SUMMER 24
CIRCULAR EYEWEAR, DESIGNED FOR ENDLESS SUMMERS
MUST-HAVE: RECYCLABLE SUNGLASSES FROM XANDRES
Call it the new generation of eyewear – Xandres is introducing its own sunglasses. Our signature aesthetic, i.e.: a streamlined design and timeless look, with the option to have them recycled by Antwerp label Yuma Labs. The perfect summer accessory for the (style)conscious urbanite, changing your view of the world with low-impact luxury.
LOW-IMPACT LUXURY
From a frame made from plant-based bio-acetate to the cleaning cloth made from recycled PET bottles, every detail was carefully considered to minimise the ecological footprint without compromising on style. Plus, at the end of the usage cycle, you can send the glasses back to Yuma Labs with the convenient send-back case and a pre-paid shipping label, where they will be completely disassembled AND recycled as soon as there are enough of them.
The sunglasses were made in an independent eyewear factory in northern Italy, with all energy used coming 100% from renewable energy produced in a wind farm in Sicily. Quality control and packaging were done in a social workshop in Belgium.

A PROJECT BY XANDRES LAB
Xandres has been challenging itself in terms of sustainability for some time, and does so, in part, by collaborating with innovative, like-minded brands to learn from each other and make a bigger impact. The design and production of the sunglasses were done in collaboration with Yuma Labs, a Belgian eyewear label that promotes a circular economy. With top-notch eyewear made from more sustainable materials designed for endless recycling, they offer a unique perspective on the role of waste in the environment and how that loop can be closed.
