Where is my order?

If you have any questions concerning an already placed order please contact us here with your order number found on your order confirmation email. You will have received a tracking number with your shipping confirmation, please check this first and remember to check your letterbox and emails for any postal notifications of failed delivery due to absent premises during delivery. All our orders require a signature on delivery. 

Depending on the volume of orders during high promotional periods and also public holidays in Queensland and Melbourne your order may not be shipped until the following business day. 

​

What if I receive my order and it is damaged?

 

We ensure our packaging is sufficient to avoid the likelihood of this occurring. However we do understand the nature of the postal industry and its high volume of cargo. Please preserve your postal packaging and all contents, take photographic evidence of any signs of poor caring practices during shipping (damaged satchel/box) so that we can provide this evidence to the carrier and contact us here so we can assist in resolving this matter.  

​

How do I know if the frame will fit me?

 

All our eyewear's product listings will include a specification in the product details. For example 145.18.53 

 

This is a standardised measuring format in the eyewear industry which consists of the temple length (arm), bridge width (nose piece) and lens diameter measurements in millimetres. We want to make it easy for you so these exact measurements of each frame can be found engraved on the inner temple. Due to the bold fashion nature of our designs, the glasses all have relatively generous inner diameter widths (face) and temple lengths (nose to ear) to allow the glass to be worn in a comfortable position or lower on the nose. If you have any particular questions our team will be happy to assist if you contact us.

 

What if I receive my order and the glasses don't suit me? 

​

Due to the volume of orders we do not offer a direct exchange policy. However, don't sweat we do have a 14 day return policy for a store credit which can be viewed in detail here. You can then re-purchase another set with your credit code provided via email by our team once your glass has been assessed and your return is processed.

​

Do your glasses come with a case? 

​

All of our glasses come with a quality case and care cloth to ensure they remain unscathed from your console or handbag clutter. This is included in the price of your purchase. Please note we only support cruelty free vegan leather materials. We highly recommend you used this to avoid damaging the silhouettes finishes and lens.

​

What is the build of your glasses?  

​

Each model of frame is hand crafted and unique in design materials required to execute the finished product. We use both stainless steel and cellulose acetate which is a plant-based (non-petroleoum) plastic known for its use in high end fashion sunglasses due to its transparency, rich unique colours, strength and light balanced weight. 

 

We individually source and hand pick our acetates for each silhouette to ensure that it is perfectly pared back with the right elements. Our glasses are then fitted with Nylon or CR-39 lenses, known for there superior vision and natural state scratch and abrasion durability.

 

Each glass goes through multiple steps before it is laser engraved and then hand painted, crafted and polished before being built with stainless steel hinges and teflon coated lock screws to ensure a superior build and longevity.
