Stella McCartney SS2012: eco-friendly eyewear

Stella McCartney launches an “eco-friendly” collection of sunglasses for next summer, using injected bio-plastic, which is made from 54% castor-oil seeds, a renewable resource. The organic castor plants grow in poor soil in semi-arid areas, using little water, very few pesticides and omit a lower CO₂ emission.

The collection is composed of two acetate models and three metal models which are available in a range of neutral tones, including browns, greens, greys, nudes and berries. From the top: SM4030, SM 3011 and SM4029.
