Recycling RE:FE
The vibrant and colourful upcycled line of frames called RE:FE are the latest addition to the Fellow Earthling brand. These glasses are made from the combining the excess material from the cuttings of other frame shapes. All the upcycled material are unique, after they have been melted together. The result are unique colour patterns that shine. RE:FE frames are highly wearable works of art and are some of the most fun frames to order as we never know exactly what will show up. We support local at nv eye care and eye wear, and encourage you to consider supporting this growing Canadian institution by
