Propelled into the eyewear scene via an Indiegogo campaign in 2018, Ombraz is shaking up an industry that hasn’t seen a significant design shift in over 200 years by solving many of the inherent issues we’ve all experienced with eyewear. Since launch, Ombraz have won over 70 ‘Best Of’ Gear Awards and the armless design has emerged as a gear-favorite in the active lifestyle space.

We’ve got zero interest in shipping plastic around the world without delivering a substantial net-benefit environmental impact. Through our mangrove reforestation efforts – each pair is 1,714X carbon-negative, making Ombraz the most carbon-negative product available on the planet.
