Sunglasses That Are Actually Worth the Case They Come In

Most sunglasses are bought in a hurry, worn indifferently, and lost somewhere between a beach bag and a taxi. The Sostter Women's Sunglasses collection is for the pair you actually keep — the ones you reach for every morning, that feel right on your face, that attract the occasional enquiry from someone across a room. Frames chosen from independent designers who approach eyewear as the considered design object it is, rather than an accessory cranked out to match a trend cycle.

Frames with genuine character.

From architectural acetate to lightweight metal, minimal to sculptural, understated to quietly outrageous — the range here covers the full spectrum of what a well-designed pair of sunglasses can be. Each frame is chosen because it has a point of view, because the finish is worth looking at closely, and because the independent designer behind it has made decisions about shape, material and detail that a mass-market brand simply wouldn't bother with. UV protection goes without saying. The rest is considerably more interesting.

Complete the look.

Pair with pieces from our Women's Accessories edit, or discover complementary independent designs in our Jewellery collection. Looking for the perfect bag to go with them? Our Women's Bags edit has something to say about that too.

Independent. Considered. Rather good on the face.
