Kimeze was founded in London in 2021 by sisters Clare and Christina Kimeze, an artist whose creative background informs the brand’s design direction. It is the first luxury eyewear company to create sunglasses and opticals specifically for Black and Brown facial structures, addressing a long-standing gap in the market for frames that accommodate lower and wider nose bridges. Inspired by the founders' British and Ugandan heritage, the collections fuse a London sensibility with African cultural influences. Each pair is handmade in Italy, combining artisanal craftsmanship with high-quality materials like premium acetate.
