FORM AND FUNCTION…
COOL UNDER PRESSURE.
All Volterre frames are made of superthin, durable stainless steel. At nearly .05mm thick, each pair's got the strength to withstand all the weight of your suitcase, and the flexibility to bounce back unscathed.
EASY ON THE EYES.
Volterre's Nylon lenses are more shatterproof, flexible, and scratch-resistant than the Polycarbonate in Chanel glasses. Oh, and they’re 100% UV protective.
NEVER WEIGHS YOU DOWN.
Our glasses weigh in at about half an ounce - that’s about half the weight of a pair of Ray Ban Clubmasters. Trust us, your face will feel the difference.
READY TO GO ANYWHERE.
Forget the bulky sunglass case that never fits in your bag - we made a special slim case that folds nice ‘n flat and fits in your pocket. Gone are the days of choosing between squinting through that backpacking trip or ruining your best glasses.
STAYS BY YOUR SIDE.
Not all those who wander are lost - but their sunglasses often are. To help with this, we added a keyring to our case to keep your Volterres close. Attach it to your keys, your handbag, or your waistband, and we promise these glasses won’t walk out on you like the last ones.
CREATED WITH CARE.
Many eyewear brands stamp their logos on ready-made styles. Not here - every pair started as an original Volterre sketch and developed through many iterations, taking 12 months of careful development to ensure these unique styles look and fit juuust right.
TOGETHER IN YOUR POCKET.
A NOTE ON TRANSPARENCY:
To make these glasses, I traveled to China and Italy and visited a looot of factories to find the right partner to work with. I’ve verified that they meet ethical standards: Spacious, hygienic, well-lit and well-ventilated working conditions, absolutely no child labor, no underpay, with workers being fully insured and properly protected.
The stainless steel material used in the frames is fully recyclable, with hypoallergenic plating. However, this plating is not 100% nickel-free - working on that! The acetate is produced partially by cotton, which is also fully recyclable, but in order to achieve some of the colors used, they are not 100% biodegradable. Our cases are made of vegan leather.
I strive to continuously learn from my customers, manufacturers, from science, and from the world so that I can deliver delightful products with minimal footprint. I love feedback! You can send any to customercare@volterre.co.
