Monokel Eyewear comes to us from Stockholm, Sweden. You may be thinking they don’t really get enough sun to know anything about sunglasses, but these cats are bringing us some of the coolest shades we’ve seen in a minute. Made from premium plant-based and recycled acetates, each frame boasts an incredible attention to detail, taking three months to craft from start to finish. Founded by a couple of professional snowboarders, the brand takes influences from 60’s and 70’s counterculture and blends them with a contemporary edge. Having been a cult favourite in the snow and skate scene for a decade, their brand philosophy stems from a mix of simplicity and functionalism, paired with an endless curiosity for the human mind and its need for creative expression.
