welcome to our world ;

if you made it here it means you're a conscious consumer who has an eye for quality, impeccable style and *Taste with a capital 'T'. we're szade, and we design and create sunglasses with the world in mind.

born and raised in melbourne, australia, we're a young couple who started szade with the mission of bringing the most elevated styles and designs to the market, with the best quality and hand-feel, for the most accessible price. with backgrounds in pharmacy, architecture, furniture design, fashion, skate and business, we bring our unique skillset and knowledge to absolutely everything that we do.

in addition to sustainability, we also wanted to address something that’s often overlooked in the fashion industry ; accessibility. brands, designers and corporations are now aware of the importance of inclusivity, diversity and sustainability when marketing their products, but few address accessibility, which is one of the most important, core values of our world here at szade.

and just like you, we're trying our best to be kinder to the planet. in the beginning we set out to make our sunglasses as best as we possibly could. this led us to look fashion's biggest problem; plastic.

we started by making each and every pair of our sustainable polycarbonate range with recycled materials so that we're utilising industry waste that's readily available to create with instead of using virgin material. this is a constant work in progress for us and we're always looking for ways to be gentler, more innovative, cleaner and more efficient. as technology improves, so will we.

accessibility means doing our best to keep prices reasonable and fair so that we can make szade accessible to a larger community and cross section of people.

along the road we've built an incredible collective that we invite you to be part of. having launched in the middle of the pandemic in 2020, we know just how important connection and community are. whether it's hosting raves in new york, pop-ups in tokyo, pool parties in LA or sponsoring our favourite home-town festivals, our goal is to be more than a brand, but a network of like-minded people.

we hope you loved getting to know us and we can't wait to get to know you.

big szade love ;
