Established on the shores of Bondi Beach in 1979, Le Specs is an Australian eyewear brand that has built a global cult following for its innovative and affordable sunglasses. After a hiatus, the brand was successfully relaunched in 2006 by owner Sunshades Eyewear with creative director Hamish Tame, who drew inspiration from Bondi's sun-drenched culture to redefine its aesthetic. Le Specs quickly became a trendsetter, known for reinventing classic silhouettes with a modern, minimal, and often unisex appeal. The brand solidified its place in the fashion landscape through high-profile collaborations with designers like Adam Selman, whose 'Last Lolita' frame was a defining style of the 2010s, and Christian Cowan.
