Lai Havana Sunglasses

The Lai offers a contemporary translation of the legendary aviator, swapping traditional wire for the warm, tactile precision of high-grade recycled plastics. This is the pilot silhouette distilled to its sleekest form, offering a retro aesthetic that feels sharper and more tailored than its predecessors.

The design creates a sophisticated hybrid, merging the adventurous double-bridge geometry with a streamlined plastic rim that avoids unnecessary bulk. The profile is kept deliberately thin and agile, allowing the frame to sit lightly on the face while providing a distinct visual definition that metal alone cannot achieve. It is a modern standard for the urban traveler - familiar in spirit, but refreshing in execution.

About the designer...

ECO SHADES is a family-run sunglasses brand, founded by father and son, Claus and Jonas Brandenborg. Two different backgrounds, one shared idea: good design should be honest, long-lasting, and built with attention to detail. A key part of that vision is the use of innovative materials - from recycled plastics to plant-based alternatives - combined with precise production methods.

All designs are created in Denmark and produced in partner factories in China, using a mix of recycled and plant-based materials. These sunglasses are made with premium components - from hinges and screws to lenses and metal cores - to ensure a high level of performance and longevity.
