Design

Exquisitely crafted and made from the finest materials, Aspinal of London's collections for men and women offer sustainable luxury that accents, highlights and complements every wardrobe choice.

MATERIALS

A gold bee motif is found on the frame, identifying the frames as a sustainable frame

ECONYL
Abandoned fishing nets, also known as “ghost nets”, have become a huge danger to marine life; you may be surprised to learn these nets account for 46% of all ocean plastic. Italian-made, luxury ECONYL® is sustainably crafted from regenerated fishing nets, fabric offcuts and discarded industrial plastics, and has become a leading name in conscious fashion in recent years. Due to its premium properties, it is being adopted for luxury sustainable eyewear within the Aspinal of London optical collection.

BIO-ACETATE

Bio-acetate is an eco-friendly version of plastic, it's made without crude oil and is certified biodegradable. The main benefits include sustainably sourced base materials like cotton or wood, rather than heavy use of petrol chemicals and bio-based acetate biodegrades 150 times faster compared to other common plastics.
