Chic En Vert: Eco Sunglasses

Designer sunglasses are the guilty pleasures of many people out there. However, with two top designers in the game going green, we might be able to feel less guilty. Both Gucci and Stella McCartney created a line of eco-friendly sunglasses so while you're looking at the sun through the glasses, you can be protecting the earth as well!


This bottom picture is of the line of the eco-sunglasses. Gucci collaborated with the eyewear line Safilo to come up with their designs. The glasses are made up of a new type of acetate "containing a much higher percentage of naturally occurring ingredients". The line is also claimed to include shield style glasses made from castor oil seeds and should be wrapped in eco-friendly packaging.

Stella McCartney is following Gucci's lead with her own line of eco-friendly sunglasses.

The five style collection includes three acetate plastic pairs and two bio-injected plastic. Both plastics are made of 54% natural and renewable materials like castor oil seeds (just like Gucci) and natural plasticizers.
