FAQs
What is RE FRAMED IT?
RE FRAMED IT is a sustainable eyewear brand that upcycles vintage frames into high-quality sunglasses. We focus on combining eco-friendly practices with timeless designs to create unique, durable accessories.
Where do the frames come from?
We source our vintage frames primarily from Spain, Italy, and France to minimize environmental impact through shorter transportation distances. These frames are carefully selected for their high quality and timeless design style. Our production takes place in Barcelona, Spain, where we transform the frames into high-quality sunglasses with modern lenses.
What type of lenses do you use?
We replace old lenses with modern sunglass lenses that meet UV400 category 3 and CR39 standards. These lenses provide excellent sun protection and clarity. The replacement process is handled by a certified optician.
Are the frames new or used?
Our frames are vintage and pre-owned, and some are also sourced from new old stock (NOS), meaning they have never been used. They are carefully inspected, cleaned, and refurbished to ensure they meet high standards of quality and durability. Each frame is unique, with its own story, making your sunglasses one-of-a-kind.
How do you select the frames?
Our frames are carefully sourced second-hand from various trusted suppliers and individuals. We prioritize quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design, ensuring that each frame is thoroughly inspected and refurbished before being upcycled into high-quality sunglasses.
Why should I choose RE FRAMED IT sunglasses?
By choosing RE FRAMED IT, you’re investing in timeless, high-quality designs at a fraction of the price of new high-end luxury eyewear. Our sunglasses combine vintage charm with modern functionality, offering eco-friendly, upcycled frames that help reduce waste. Each pair is unique and carefully crafted to blend sustainable fashion with exceptional style.
What is UV400 protection, and why is it important?
Protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays is crucial when wearing sunglasses. At RE FRAMED IT, we ensure all our upcycled vintage frames are equipped with new lenses featuring UV400 protection. This protection blocks a significant portion of UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of eye strain, cataracts, and other eye conditions.
Wearing sunglasses without UV protection can be harmful, as the tint may cause your pupils to dilate and expose your eyes to more UV rays.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes! We offer free shipping on all orders. Currently, we only ship to Spain and Sweden, but this may change in the future as we expand.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 30 days of purchase, provided the sunglasses are in their original condition. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs, except in the case of faulty or damaged items, where we will cover the return shipping costs.
