SZÂDE - NOLAN

The SZÂDE Nolan frame seamlessly blends retro sophistication with contemporary appeal, making it a standout contender for the Sustainable Frame of the Year award. This sleek, oval silhouette draws inspiration from iconic 90s styles, popularized by Julia Roberts in Notting Hill and Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, offering a modern interpretation of eyewear’s most beloved archives. Its immediate popularity is evidenced by two out of four colourways selling out within two weeks of launching.

Crafted from SZÂDE’s signature sustainable polycarbonate material, the Nolan frame is both eco-conscious and impeccably designed. The recycled materials used are sourced from pre- and post-consumer plastic waste through GRS-certified partners, ensuring a transparent and ethical supply chain. Each frame is thoughtfully hand-assembled, polished, and packed, highlighting SZÂDE’s commitment to producing premium eyewear with minimal environmental impact.

The design is further elevated by premium finishes, including double-barrel hinges, tonal star rivet motifs, and understated SZÂDE logos on the temple tips and interior. The timeless black-on-black colourway and polarized lenses ensure style and functionality for today’s fashion-forward consumer.

While the lenses themselves are not recycled, they are made from high-quality, tested polycarbonate to provide superior clarity, structural integrity, and shatterproof protection, meeting the highest international safety standards. SZÂDE prioritizes both sustainability and wearer safety, offering a product that doesn’t compromise on performance.

The Nolan frame is a forward-thinking example of how fashion can embrace sustainability while staying on trend. Its thoughtful design, recycled materials, and timeless appeal make it a worthy recipient of the Sustainable Frame of the Year award.
