What should become of our acetate offcuts?

It’s a pressing question. Indeed, acetate waste is the main environmental concern plaguing the manufacture of spectacles. But it’s a question to which our staid and uninspiring industry does not currently have an answer.

So we looked elsewhere. We looked to TOAST, who share our interest in objects made to be infinitely worn, and repaired for a lifetime. They are creators - or should we say re-creators - of a plethora of timeless and time-defying pieces that rescue the discarded from its landfill destiny. They share our love of an object’s history, a preference for the handsomely scuffed over the perfectly polished.

Kantha: a predecessor to REDUX

Each frame is accompanied by by a hand kantha stitched TOAST pouch made with traditional methods by craftspeople in India, supported by the Fair Trade cooperative Sasha. Constructed from layers of discarded sari and dhoti fabric and individually ikat dyed, the pouch is a beautiful recycled home for our REDUX frame.
