Afends blend vintage and modern perfectly in new drop.

Sit down and prepare to be shocked… Afends are unleashing their debut eyewear collection tomorrow. Probably the most shocking part of that sentence is the word “debut”. Surely the legendary Byron Bay label has released a sunglass range before, right? Well, no. But that all changes in under 24 hours.

Staying true to their surf-meets-street-meets-party feel that’s been keeping young people around the country clothed since 2006, the eyewear range is made for long days at the beach through to late nights running amok. There were clearly no rules when it came to design. Here, tortoiseshell combines with 50s-style silhouettes and blue lenses meet cuts from grunge-era surf culture.

Keeping with Afends’ commitment to help preserve the natural world, the glasses are made from 100% biodegradable acetate, which means you don’t feel like a thoughtless chump when you’re wearing them – you certainly won’t look like one.

Check out the collection below and head here to score yourself a pair tomorrow. Oh, and check out the gallery from their launch party last week here:
