Portia / Cork

Description:

The generous curves of the Portia give this bold frame the feeling of a night swim on midsummer night. A unisex wayfarer inspired icon. 

Each frame comes with a branded case and cleaning cloth, both crafted from recycled materials, to help you keep your set looking their best. These frames can be fit with your prescription/RX lenses by any optometrist and have a 365 day warranty against manufacturing faults (not including damaged lenses).

Make an impact:
- We donate a spectacle frame to a schoolchild in need of glasses for every frame purchased as part of Ballo Buy One Give One
- A tree is planted for every pair sold, making production and shipping carbon positive.
- Local and international courier shipping included in price displayed

Materials:

Our unique cork frame was developed when a customer requested a pair that “floats in water”. Yes, they float. And they bounce.  Each pair is handcrafted from recycled cork, offcut fabrics and recycled plastic to be  durable, lightweight and comfortable. Materials are laminated together using bio-resin (40% tree sap), under 15 tons of pressure at 90 degrees celsius. Fitted with the highest quality mineral glass lenses and robust spring hinges.
