In 1849, the Mazzucchelli family based in Italy invented a high quality plastic known as cellulose acetate. The material is a hypoallergenic natural based resin composed of more than 70% cotton fibers that create the unique combination of a soft, ultra-comfortable feel and the aesthetic beauty we require of our frames.

We exclusively use acetate produced at the original factory in the Italian countryside.

Each pair of SHAUNS are handcrafted with passion in partnership with some of the finest eyewear factories in the world. Specifically in Northern Italy and Japan. This short film explores our full manufacturing process and the attention to detail found on every SHAUNS frame.

SHAUNS introduces a new lens technology for all their solid tints called Polar Optimized. The lens features a polarized filter that eliminates glare and is optimized to view LCD screens in full sun without distortion. This technique not only enhances visibility and contrast but also gives you greater comfort and safety. While maintaining dependable eye protection, the beautiful range of colors ensure superior optical performance at the highest quality.

Visual impairment hampers performance at school, reduces employability and productivity, and generally lowers quality of life.

That's why SHAUNS has made a commitment to Give Sight. When you purchase a pair of frames, we provide an eye exam and a pair of glasses to someone in need. By partnering with leading global organizations, we are able to ensure that your purchase reaches those for whom the gift of sight can have the biggest impact.

Our braille S three-dot logo visually connects each element of our brand to our mission to reduce visual impairment around the world.
