A case is always included with your purchase of our eyewear, however you may decide to purchase one separately or as a gift.Our recycled sunglasses cases are woven out of waste plastic by traditional weavers from one of three rural communities in Bolgatanga, Ghana, helping to provide an income for women in the region and support them in maintaining their traditions.By utilising recycled plastic from water sachets and waste materials from the manufacturing process of plastic bags, we give the weavers access to a readily available material rather than typically used straw, which is limited by seasonality and climate change.
