UBUNTU VISION
Developed with the United Nations in Celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Welcome to the groundbreaking collaboration between Ballo Cork Eyewear and the United Nations, where sustainable fashion meets global impact. Embracing the philosophy of Ubuntu Vision, we unite to redefine eyewear by fostering a sense of interconnectedness, community, and environmental responsibility. Join us on a journey where style meets purpose, and together, we envision a world where fashion not only looks good but does good.
The fabric used to make these frames features the colours of the South African flag. We have named it Enkosi, the Xhosa word for "thank you", as we would like to thank the Springbok rugby team for showing us what is possible when a diverse group of people embrace differences in pursuit of a common goal. Congratulations to the back to back rugby world champions.
Whether you’re trying to work your way through a stack of your favourite magazines, make a Zoom call to another dimension, pay for dinner while surfing or just getting old, Ballo’s got your eyes covered.
Our new range of cork readers are super lightweight, comfortable and durable.
