Born in Iceland. Made in Italy.
Our Times
Jamie came up with the idea for Times in a remote part of Iceland when he sat on his sunglasses and broke the arm off. Being a resourceful guy he found a piece of elastic, attached it to each end of the frame to make a loop and Times was born.
Over 2 years of design and development followed, perfecting every aspect of the sunglasses until they were ready. These patent pending sunglasses use a flexible strap that holds them securely on your face but also becomes a neck strap when the sun goes in. The really clever bit is that they fold flat so you can wear them under your jacket or t-shirt when not in use and can forget they're there!

Times solve the problem of broken and lost sunglasses. The flexible hinge folds easily so you can sit on them and they just spring back! Every part can be replaced without tools so you can keep going whatever. Say no to non repairable products.
With conventional sunglasses, once the hinge is broken, the sunglasses can't be easily repaired and more often than not end up in landfill contributing to our climate crisis.
