Times have been created for all kinds of adventures! They’re not only incredibly durable but they also never fall off. No more snapping, dropping or losing you sunglasses to the sea. (we’ve been there!).
These patent pending sunglasses use a flexible strap that holds them securely on your face but also becomes a neck strap when the sun goes in. The really clever bit is that they fold flat so you can wear them under your jacket or t-shirt when not in use and can forget they’re there!
Times solve the problem of broken and lost sunglasses. The flexible hinge folds easily so you can sit on them and they just spring back! Every part can be replaced without tools so you can keep going whatever. Say no to non repairable products.

With conventional sunglasses, once the hinge is broken, the sunglasses can’t be easily repaired and more often than not end up in landfill contributing to our climate crisis.
Our patent pending design makes Times the most comfortable and durable pair of sunglasses we’ve ever used. The flexible strap moulds to fit any face and head shape and can be easily adjusted to suit your experience. Tighten the strap for a secure fit and loosen to wear relaxed when times slow down.
Times ultra slim profile is design to be worn effortlessly around the neck when not in use. When you do need to pack your times away, fold them flat and simply slip them into a laptop sleeve or bag and relax.
Times frames are made from bio-acetate which uses a natural cellulose based biopolymer made with a vegetable plasticizer and is also biodegradable. They are plant based and made from renewable sources rather than oil or other fossil fuels. All 3 of our frames are made with this sustainable material.
Our frames are also manufactured in Europe to reduce transport carbon as well as being lightweight and because they fold flat, they are considerably smaller when packaged compared to other sunglasses, they even fit through your letterbox!

Jamie is a world renowned videographer and photographer splitting his time between Costa Rica and the UK South Coast.
Jamie came up with the idea for Times in a remote part of Iceland when he sat on his sunglasses and broke the arm off. Being a resourceful chap he found a piece of elastic, attached it to each end of the frame to make a loop and Times was born.
