Isle of Eden is a proudly independent New Zealand eyewear brand creating high-quality eyewear that not only looks good but that customers feel good about wearing.

“We are always working on ways to reduce our environmental footprint, from sourcing earth-friendly materials to use for our hand crafted frames to optimising our supply chain and shipping methods,” says co-owner Felina Natoli. “We currently make all of our frames with bio and recycled acetates which is all derived from wood and cotton pulp.”

Focusing on high-quality classic and contemporary designs, sustainability and fair pricing, Felina says they hope to right the wrongs of a monopolised industry.

 “We’re different. All our frames are designed and distributed from our sunny North Shore studio in Auckland. We put a firm focus on creating quality products with small environmental footprints and endeavour to work with top materials suppliers globally to produce limited-run products, at an accessible price point.”

Isle of Eden has attracted a core following for their unique styles and future-forward range.

“Our aim is to create bold, yet wearable eyewear that looks great on almost any face with timeless styles that are our own subtle interpretations of mid-century designs.” Isle of Eden eyewear is stocked locally at stores Gifted in Wānaka & Folklore in Clyde.
