Meet bates, a small, slick rectangular frame with sharp edges and clean lines. This all black polarised sunglass takes design cues from the classic wayfarer but with completely modernised proportions. Bates is an essential square-rectangle everyday frame to elevate any outift and is flattering to all face shapes.

The recycled materials used come from a range of different pre and post-consumer plastic waste sources to form these sustainable polycarbonate frames.

The recycled materials used to make the sustainable polycarbonate frames come from Szade's production partners who source the material and provide us with GRS certification. GRS is an independent company that audits and certifies materials in their chain of supply.
