re:Cycled Black
REDUCING WASTE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS FASHIONABLE.
As the name says, Recycled Black is a new acetate made from 100% recycled materials, utilizing leftover materials from our acetate producers to create a rich black acetate. With this initiative, we’ll begin to transition all our black SKUs to Recycled Black, furthering our mission to create premium frames with a lighter footprint.
