The Peniche Iconic Bio Acetate Sunglasses are built from Italian Mazzuchelli bio-acetate, a frame material derived from wood pulp and cotton fibers bound with natural plasticizers including citric acid esters. The result is a lightweight, hypoallergenic frame that is fully biodegradable without sacrificing the structural integrity or polished finish you expect from premium eyewear. Available in translucent Graphite Gray or Amber Honey, the 48-23-145 fit suits a wide range of face shapes with a confident, mid-century silhouette.

  • 9-layer UV 400 gray polarized lenses combine scratch resistance, shock resistance, and CE and FDA approved sun protection for reliable clarity in bright conditions.
  • Plant-based bio-acetate frame sourced from Italian Mazzuchelli stock uses renewable, biodegradable materials in place of conventional petroleum-based plastics.
  • Tri-fold cork sunglasses case and microfiber cloth are included, keeping the full kit low-waste from the first wear.

Each pair of Peniche sunglasses plants a tree and removes five plastic bottles from the ocean, so the impact travels with you. Wear them knowing the craft and the commitment behind them are equally considered.

Chloe ★★★★★

I've been wearing them all week and the bio-acetate material is noticeably lighter on my face than my old pair, which makes a big difference during long walks. The citric acid-based plasticizers in the frame are a nice touch, knowing it's more sustainable without sacrificing sturdiness.

Eli N. ★★★★★

The frame’s got this subtle depth to it that you don’t see in cheap plastic, and the bio-acetate feels reassuringly solid on my face without pinching. I wore them all afternoon at the beach and forgot I had them on.

Richard W. ★★★★★

I was surprised by how smooth and cool the Italian bio-acetate feels against my skin, much nicer than standard plastic frames. The wood-pulp and citric acid composition makes them feel both sturdy and surprisingly light on my face.
