The Faro Unisex Bio Acetate Sunglasses are built from handcrafted frames made with Mazzuchelli-sourced Italian bio-acetate, a plant-based material derived from wood pulp, cotton fibers, and natural plasticizers including citric acid esters. The result is a frame with the weight and finish of traditional acetate, grounded in a significantly lower-impact material lifecycle. Available in tortoise, black, and olive, the Faro carries a quietly considered aesthetic that works across seasons and settings.

  • Nine-layer lens construction combines two scratch-resistant layers, two shock-resistant layers, four UV400 layers for maximum UVA and UVB protection, and one polarized layer to cut glare during driving or time outdoors.
  • CE (EU) and FDA (USA) approved lenses with a changeable design, so the frame stays in use longer rather than being replaced when lenses wear.
  • Frame dimensions of 51-21-138 offer a versatile unisex fit suited to a wide range of face shapes.

Every pair of Faro sunglasses ships with a two-year guarantee, reflecting the standard JOPLINS® holds for craft and material integrity. If you want eyewear that performs with precision and carries its environmental commitments in the material itself, the Faro is a considered starting point.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Madison W. ★★★★★

The bio-acetate feels smooth and substantial without being heavy, and the handcrafted frames have a nice subtle texture that catches the light.

Mia Y. ★★★★★

They’re surprisingly light on the face, and the bio-acetate feels smoother than most plastic frames I’ve tried. The handcrafted finish shows in the clean edges, and they’ve held up well through a few weeks of daily wear.

Ava H. ★★★★★

I've been wearing these every day for two weeks and the handcrafted frames still feel as solid as the first day, plus the Italian bio-acetate has a nice, subtle warmth to it. The wood pulp and cotton fiber construction is a great conversation starter, too.
