Welcome. An independent brand, two coasts, one frame.

Californian in form, Mediterranean in setting, SUNNUM is an independent eyewear brand from Cyprus. It started with a simple idea: build the frames we wanted to wear, not for a season, over time.

Materials

Cut, not molded.

Mass-made sunglasses are injection-molded, thousands from the same cast, in seconds. Every SUNNUM frame starts as a single block of High-Density acetate from Mazzucchelli 1849 in Italy, then is cut, shaped and polished by hand. The result: sharper edges, deeper colour, a frame that holds its shape for years instead of warping in the sun.

CR-39 lenses

See clearly, all day.

CR-39 is an optical-grade resin, not standard polycarbonate. It offers superior clarity and truer colour, so your eyes work less to focus, which means less strain on long days out. It's the same lens material used in prescription eyewear, chosen here for comfort over cost-cutting.

Hinges & hardware

Engineering

Every SUNNUM frame is hand-checked before it leaves the workbench, hinges, rivets, joints, the same care you'd expect from a luxury house, at a fraction of the price. Nothing loose, nothing rushed. Built to still feel right, years from now.
