Award-Winning Sustainable Glasses by Thélios X Stella McCartney

For a few years now, Stella McCartney’s name has been associated with sustainable high fashion. In the past few seasons, the brand embraced a green, sustainable mission, championing the message that luxury and haute couture can reach their beauty and harmony goals even by backing superior quality with a green, sustainable supply chain.

The UL-Underwriters Laboratories certification has rewarded the SS eyewear collection, celebrating the two brands’ first sustainable collaboration.

Faithful to its concept, the accessory collection entrusted to Thélios, the eyewear specialized branch of global luxury giant LVMH, has lived up to expectations: the collection bio-lenses have won the Environmental Claim Validation (ECV), a certification testifying to their low environmental impact.

The prestigious ECV is awarded by UL, a global independent body issuing safety and sustainability certifications.

Stella McCarney’s SS eyewear collection, produced by Thélios, has received the Enviromental Claim Validation because of the alternative materials used: the sunglasses lenses are made from 40% castor oil.

Besides the lenses, Thélios has also crafted sustainable glasses frames by using a bio-acetate made from nearly 70% wood and cotton fibers, and natural plasticizers, too.

Wearing branded sustainable sunglasses is surely a new luxury concept, but cases could not be left out of the picture either: plant-based, sustainable materials were used on the brand’s iconic case styles. The supply chain does not end with products: all packages in this collection are made from recycled, biodegradable materials.
