Sunglasses made from fishing nets

-

WATERHAUL, £65 The sight of plastic containers and fishing nets washed up along the shore demonstrat­es our impact on the planet. However, one Cornwallba­sed social enterprise has been retrieving this type of jetsam and recycling it into sunglasses. There are two styles available: the Kynance ( below) and the squarer Fitzroy – both have polarised glass lenses with UVA/UVB protection. The frames are lightweigh­t yet robust, with a comfortabl­e fit and the entire product can be recycled via Waterhaul’s lifetime warranty. You can also order prescripti­on lenses through the website ( for an additional £20). These trendy shades are one plastic item you wouldn’t be dismayed to see on a trip to the beach this summer.
