Be eco friendly and look cool while doing it. These sunglass frames are made from recycled plastic! But there's nothing secondhand about the lenses- they are German, polarized and UV protectant. Need prescription lenses- take them to your optometrist. These sunglasses by Parafina are also super light weight, water resistant and helmet friendly. Pretty cool, huh?
