Los Angeles–based eyewear label AKILA creates contemporary sunny-weather staples inspired by the possibilities of sustainable engineering. Sunglasses are handcrafted in biodegradable, plant-based cellulose acetate with a malleable steel core for flexible, shatter-resistant frames. The premium acetate is an earth-friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics, allowing for vibrant, sunlight-refracting colors and refined textures. Versatile wayfarer and cat-eye silhouettes are fitted with tinted lenses for a modern take on retro favorites. Precise design and production standards ensure optimal durability and performance in AKILA’s classic yet streetwise eyewear.
