bates ; szade x BODEGA khaki

SZADE X BODEGA ; limited edition 20th anniversary collection. bringing together the history and heritage of the Bodega universe with our signature SZADE BATES frame, this special project includes two frames for day and night. discover our special 20th anniversary khaki colourway for day with hidden details and iconic Bodega touches.

from pencil to prototype, from hand to hand; every frame concept begins as a sketch on paper and ends in the hands of our skilled production team. each design passes through a journey of inspiration, concept ideation, technical drawings, iterative revisions, 3D-printed prototypes, and finally injection-moulded samples where colours, patterns, and surface treatments are perfected. every pair is then hand-assembled, edge-finished, polished, and carefully inspected before being nestled into its pouch and box. throughout this process, we obsess over fit, construction, alignment, comfort and the quality of finish, going to extraordinary lengths to create frames that flatter and endure. months of research, development, fit testing, and refinement culminate in sunglasses that carry the spirit of luxury, yet feel effortless enough for everyday wear.

breaking the cycle ;

make sure to recycle your polycarbonate frames when you're finished wearing them. be sure to remove any metal components and double check that your recycling unit or facility of choice accepts polycarbonate.

let's make something clear ;

our lenses are not recycled, but are crafted of the highest quality tested and rated polycarbonate for the ultimate clarity, structural integrity, robustness and protection. this is of the utmost importance to provide above all, the clearest and safest possible shatter-proof protection for your eyes that meets the highest international standards. your safety comes first.

dotting our 'i's' and crossing our 't's' ; our sustainable certification.

the recycled materials used to make our sustainable polycarbonate frames come from our production partners who source the material and provide us with GRS certification. GRS are an independent company who audit and certify materials and their chain of supply.
