ONE-OF-ONE
No two grains alike — every pair is
the only one of its kind.
FEATHERLIGHT
Shaped by hand to sit close.
Comfortable enough to forget you're wearing them.
BORN IN AFRICA
One box of sunglasses. One question.
That's where Kobe began.
The Signature Collection
No two the same. And yours won't be either.
That's the wood's doing, not ours.

How the journey began...
Ours starts in Kenya in 2017, raising money to protect our rivers.
Nearly a decade later, it's a global idea built by people
who believe in it as much as we do.

The Kobe list
Small runs go fast. The list sees them first.
New frames, new hats and whatever we're wearing next. Every drop goes to the list before it goes anywhere else.
When a run is gone, it's gone.
One email per drop. No noise. Leave whenever you like.
Frequently asked questions
Can I return them if they're not right?
Yes. Return any pair within 30 days in its original condition and we'll refund you. Custom or engraved orders are final sale — we'll always flag those before you buy.
When will my order arrive?
We ship from within your region wherever we can, so most orders arrive faster than expected. Yours leaves us within two business days, and you'll get a tracking email the moment it does. Delivery times vary by destination — you'll see an estimate at checkout.
How much does shipping cost?
Nothing. Shipping is free on every order, wherever you are.
What if my pair breaks?
Every pair is covered for 12 months against manufacturing faults — hinges, joints, lens defects. Get in touch and we'll sort it. Accidental damage isn't covered, but tell us what happened anyway. We'll see what we can do.
Are the lenses polarised?
Yes. Every pair has properly polarised lenses with UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB. They cut glare, not just dim the light.
Is the wood real?
Yes. Every pair is built around real wood, layered and pressed for strength, then shaped by hand. That's why no two come out the same — the grain runs differently through every piece.
