Our frames are made of different materials.
All acetate sunglasses are handmade over more than 120 steps . Carefully shaped from many layers of acetate cellulose that are cut, polished and meticulously assembled by hand.
Acetate is a durable, plant-based plastic .
We use sturdy 3-barrel or 5-barrel hinges on all our frames, and we love to play with design details. Look out for gold-plated hinges and end caps on the bars.
Our active collection features extra lightweight frames made from Swiss TR90, an extremely flexible and durable material - perfect for all-day and sports use.
All our lenses of course have full UV400 (UVA+UVB) protection. All our ski goggles, as well as most sunglasses, are equipped with Triton (USA) CR19 or CR39 lenses and offer high-contrast vision.
We primarily offer lens colors and tints that are best for everyday wear (Category 3: brown, green, and gray lenses) and for partly sunny conditions and cloudy weather (Category 2: orange, blue, etc.). Our sunglasses with yellow lenses are primarily considered fashion sunglasses (Category 1).
Our Active collection of sports eyewear comes with polarized lens options that are especially suitable for water sports
Our (anti-) blue light lenses are made from nylon, a high-quality lens material that combines the benefits of polycarbonate and CR-39 lenses. They block 100% of blue light below 410 nm and 45% of blue light on the spectrum between 410 nm and 450 nm.
Our most popular frames are also available as prescription glasses with standard or premium lenses. All come standard with anti-scratch, anti-reflective and water-repellent coatings. Premium coatings provide extra durability, are easy to care for and have a refined finish. These lenses repel dust, dirt and water. Available in powers up to +/- 5.00 .
We have improved our warranty policy and now offer a lifetime manufacturing warranty on acetate frames, 24 months on all other (TR90 and metal) frames, and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on blue light and optical lenses.
We also fully understand that sunglasses can easily get lost or broken if not treated properly. If something goes wrong, send us an email at hello@messyweekend.com and tell us the story. Remember your MW order number and we will give you a 30% discount on a replacement pair.
We can't make better products without giving back - that's our philosophy and promise! Through our project "Clean Ocean", we donate to clean up plastic waste from our rivers and oceans for every MW product we sell.
Our packaging is made from recycled materials, and we are constantly looking to improve our entire supply chain in a green direction. We are fully aware that we are not saving the world (yet) with our initiatives. We always do our best, and for us this is a journey where we step by step improve our footprint as we mature as a company.
Before starting production we traveled to China and visited several suppliers and manufacturers to carefully select our new partners. We did this to ensure the production facilities are on par with our business and moral standards. Eg inspecting and confirming working environment and waste management. We still work closely with the same suppliers today and have a close and trustful partnership with them. We still visit them regularly. Pre covid twice a year. And annually from 2023.
