Ombraz

About Ombraz

Ombraz makes sunglasses without arms. A built-in cord runs round the back of the head instead, so they stay put when you're on the move and drop neatly round your neck when you don't need them. The idea came from co-founder Jensen, whose pair broke on a camel safari in India and who tied twine to the hinges to keep them going. Jensen and Nikolai launched the brand on Indiegogo in spring 2018, raising $165,000 in 30 days. The cord is a V2 Japanese nylon made from recycled fishing nets, and each pair is hand-assembled by a team in Italy. The frames suit hiking, running and canoeing, and come with a lifetime warranty.
