Collection: AKILA

AKILA is an independent eyewear brand based in Los Angeles, California, focusing on handmade unisex sunglasses designed to last. Each pair is made from biodegradable and renewable plant-based cellulose acetate extracted from cotton and wood pulp, with stainless steel temple cores, and fitted with Optical Class 1 nylon lenses that offer 100% UVA/UVB protection.

As eco-friendly eyewear, AKILA sunglasses and eyeglasses take over 90 days to complete and require nearly 100 steps from start to finish.

Part of AKILA’s mission is to provide a platform for brands and creatives to express their progressive outlooks. The brand partners with friends, artists and brands to bring new ideas to market. By being inclusive rather than exclusive their goal is to give design power back to independent brands and in turn bring better value and options to consumers.
All pairs of AKILA eyewear are available in limited numbers to maintain precision and quality that will look great and last for years.
