What if your sunglasses had their own personalities? What would they say or do? Well, if that’s a weird question that crossed your mind during a sleepless night, there’s an answer. Ahnah, a new eyewear brand from Chris Gentile of Brooklyn-based store Pilgrim Surf & Supply, decided to give each of their sunglasses a character description, rather than a product description. For example, Ary “has a thing against canned beans” (how contrary!)
Personified eyewear aside, the collection was made with timeless style, performance, and the environment in mind. Spins on classic styles like those weirdly cool grandma glasses worn by Estelle Getty on Golden Girls get a modern twist. Every pair is made in the U.S., and the acetate frames are made from wood pulp and cotton fibers that come from sustainably sourced raw materials. With 13 pairs all priced at $290, there’s a style for everyone. Meet some of our favorite characters below, and shop them all here.
