Why premium, optical-grade materials?

Our brand has always been about providing exceptional value to our customers. We started as a reaction to a boring, overpriced sunglass market by making wild style shades at an affordable price. After more than a decade in the eyewear game we’re still on that mission: bringing you premium quality sunglasses with plenty of that extra Crap vibe that you know and love.

All our frames are made with high quality materials like stainless steel and earth-friendly bioacetate. Our lenses are made of scratch-resistant CR-39, the gold standard in sport optics.

How are your shades made?

Our eyewear is handcrafted by skilled experts. Every step in the 50-point, 60+ day production process ensures a more durable, comfortable and beautiful sunglass.

First, raw material is hand mixed for the perfect color or tortoise and pressed into large bioacetate sheets. Each frame is then cut from those sheets and tumbled for days in cedar wood chips. After tumbling, they are then hand-shaped and fitted with optical grade hardware. A final, multiphase round of heavy polishing brings out the acetate’s vibrant color.

The result is a long-lasting, extra-comfortable pair of shades that also looks beautiful AF.

We work with highly technical eyewear manufacturers based in Shenzhen that are FDA & CE certified and meet all local regulations and standards.

What is bioacetate?

Acetate is the leading frame material used for premium, optical-quality eyewear. It's plant-based and semi-synthetic; cotton and wood pulp are combined with plasticizers to create a vibrant, durable frame that can be polished to a high gloss and custom-shaped by opticians.

Bioacetate shares acetate’s best properties, and is also biodegradable and petroleum-free. More bio-based content from renewable resources = greater sustainability.

What type of lenses are in your sunglasses?

We use only high quality lens materials: CR-39, nylon and glass.

The majority of our sunglasses use CR-39 lenses. These lenses offer UV 400 protection and crystal clear vision. CR-39 has the second highest optical clarity available (behind glass), while being lightweight and shatter resistant.

Glass lenses have the highest clarity and ABBE value. We currently offer glass lenses in The Kiss Of Dume style.

Nylon lenses also have extremely high clarity. We use nylon lenses for our rimless frames due to their strength.

Are any of your sunglasses polarized?

Yes, we offer polarized lenses in a variety of our frame styles – just look for “polarized” in the product color description. You can also see all our polarized styles in one place here.

Polarized lenses have unique filters that block unwanted glare reflected off water, snow and other bright surfaces. This ultimately increases your visibility and soothes your eyeballs, making them particularly great for the beach bum, water rat or just people especially sensitive to glare.

Our polarized lenses are of the highest quality — and come either in CR-39 or Nylon material. Beware of brands out there not upcharging for their polarized styles – they are usually made out of TAC (triacetate cellulose), a low quality, multi-layer composite.

What sustainability measures do you take?

Brand:

As of January 2021, we taken the Climate Neutral pledge, working to measure and offset our 2021 carbon emissions to become Climate Neutral Certified.

Sunglasses:

We use bioacetate for 95%+ of our products. Bioacetate is a biodegradable and petroleum-free frame material.

Packaging:

We have eliminated all single-use plastic from our products. If you get hit with any plastic in your order, we’re sorry! Please give us a heads up so we are aware.

Our sunglass cases get their structure from recycled cardstock, eliminating the need for a plastic core.

Our sunglass boxes and shipping mailers are 100% recyclable –  thank you in advance for recycling :)

Future:

We are constantly working to lessen our footprint and increase our sustainability efforts. Please let us know you have any suggestions for materials or initiatives you’d like to see, we are always open to ideas!

Can I put prescription lenses in my Crap Eyewear shades?

Yes, all of our frames come RX-ready with optical-grade materials and can support prescription lenses.

We unfortunately do not offer prescription lens services ourselves. To put prescription lenses in your Crap frames, we recommend talking to your local optometrist, or checking out Lensabl.

A screw fell out of my favorite shades! What do I do now?

Bummer! Over time the repeated opening and closing your the arms on your favorite shades can cause the screws in your hinges to become loose and, if gone unnoticed and not retightened, fall out. Don't worry, we're happy to send you a replacement set on the house! Please contact us and be sure to include the model of your sunglasses plus the best address to get them your way.

Do your products have any sort of warranty?

We stand by all our sunglasses with a warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for one year from order date and with proof of purchase.

If a warranty issue arises, please contact us with a description of the problem, some photos and your order number or proof of purchase. We strive to treat our customers like family and will do what we can to take care of you.

Our warranty does not cover against normal wear and tear, scratched or broken lenses, or misuse (i.e. sitting on your shades). Any alterations to the sunglasses will void warranty. We reserve the right to repair or replace, in part or in full, sunglasses returned for warranty or repair. Warranty claims and other repairs are at our complete discretion.
