Founded in 2020 in Melbourne, Australia, Szade was born from a desire to disrupt the wasteful cycles of the fast-fashion eyewear industry. Created by a collective with backgrounds in skate culture, architecture, and fashion, the brand focuses on transforming discarded, broken, and unsellable plastic sunglasses into bold, modern frames. This closed-loop recycling process utilizes pre- and post-consumer waste, certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), to produce sustainable polycarbonate eyewear without relying on virgin plastics.
