Behind Hemp Eyes

Behind Hemp Eyes

From a humble garage experiment to a crowdfunding campaign, Hemp Eyewear is a forward thinking team, promoting hemp through sustainable fashion… starting with sunglasses.

The sustainable brand headed by recent graduate designer, Sam Whitten, run their exceptionally innovative production line from Edinburgh’s creative hub, The Biscuit Factory.

Using an updated manufacturing process, they have turned individual hemp fibre into solid, lightweight and ‘one of a kind’ frames. What’s really cool is that every frame has visible plant fibre in the material with its own individual pattern, producing a one-off and truly unique pair of sunglasses.

We are loving the “crosby” – what’s your favourite?
