The LAI offers a contemporary translation of the legendary aviator, swapping traditional wire for the warm, tactile precision of high-grade recycled plastics. This is the pilot silhouette distilled to its sleekest form, offering a retro aesthetic that feels sharper and more tailored than its predecessors. The design creates a sophisticated hybrid, merging the adventurous double-bridge geometry with a streamlined plastic rim that avoids unnecessary bulk. The profile is kept deliberately thin and agile, allowing the frame to sit lightly on the face while providing a distinct visual definition that metal alone cannot achieve. It is a modern standard for the urban traveler - familiar in spirit, but refreshing in execution.

Technical Excellence
Technical excellence is in our DNA. We apply a meticulous attention to detail at every stage of production, from the creation of custom molds to advanced laser welding and the final, hand-finished polish. By combining this engineering precision with strict quality control, we ensure that every pair of ECO SHADES is built with a singular focus: flawless construction that performs as beautifully as it looks.
Uncompromising Quality
Backed by 30 years of optical experience, we bring professional-grade engineering to fashion eyewear. We build ECO SHADES using premium components like metal cores, 5-barrel optical hinges, and friction-lock screws - features usually found only in high-end prescription frames. By offering this level of construction at an accessible price point, we ensure you get superior durability and a solid feel without the luxury markup.
Packaging
Each pair is accompanied by our ECO SHADES pouch, woven from recycled rPET for soft, scratch-free protection and doubling as a lens cleaning cloth, and our ES Envelope, a structured carry case made from recycled plastics engineered to secure your frames during transit. Also included is a minimal product card. Considered details, designed to match the quality and longevity of the frame.
Clean the lenses regularly using a non-alcohol based lens cleaning spray and your ECO SHADES pouch. Avoid water, soap, or harsh chemicals, as these may affect the frame and hinge components over time. To preserve shape and fit, keep the sunglasses away from extreme heat and store them in our ES Envelope when not in use.
