Birdies | Eco eyewear for children

The real magic bean

Birdies are made from processed castor beans, a new (and old) natural polymer that is lighter than aluminium and strong enough to be used in vehicles.

These frames are virtually indestructible. Designed to withstand rough treatment, they’re bendable, throwable, and come with impact and shatter-resistant lenses. The low-density material is 10 times stronger than the plastics in car bumpers, and 13 times stronger than common bioplastics. The perfect material for inquisitive minds.

Castor plants grow extremely fast and do not require pesticides or chemicals to thrive. Just like children.
