Akila Ares Sunglasses

AKILA is an independent eyewear brand based in Los Angeles focused on handmade unisex sunglasses. The label?s mission is to provide eco-friendly designs and practices that utilize a plant-based acetate containing fibers from cotton and wood pulp. The combination of these elements provides a natural bioplastic that can withstand wear and offer a luxe finish. Their collection takes inspiration from traditional eyewear silhouettes that are timeless and functional.

Ares brings a bolder look with downtown vibes and a subtle nod to Art Deco architecture. Its thick-framed construction features custom cores inside each temple inspired by DTLA?s Eastern Columbia Building, and is finished with metal plaques at each hinge.
