Over the last few months, we've been on the hunt for brands that share our passion for creating long-lasting, sustainable products. Brands that share our passion for the ocean and nature. Brands that share our belief in responsible business that's better for not just the consumer, but for the planet.

Introducing Childe - an independent Australian eyewear brand creating sunglasses with an eco-edge. Inspired by musicians, artists and activists, the team at Childe believe in self-definition and inclusivity, designing universal styles of sunglasses that embrace individuality.

 

We're excited to say that from today, Childe sunglasses will be available to purchase through the Project Blank website.

These Australian designed, Italian made eyewear products are of a premium fit and constructed from a high quality eco sensitive Plant Based and Bio-Acetate frame materials.

CHILDE, located in Byron Bay, was founded in 2018 by Jon Laurenson - living in Portugal and inspired by friend and renowned local Lisbon artist Mario Belem. After visiting friends and boutique optical manufacturers in Italy he returned to Australia to form a creative team of friends to bring the CHILDE eco eyewear collections to life. His passion for Australian fashion, Rock & Roll and environmental consideration heavily inspires the design aesthetic of the brand.
