Voted the world’s most sustainable eyewear brand in 2021, Karün blends fashion with environmental impact. Even actress Shailene Woodley collaborated on a collection, proving sustainability can be stylish.
Turning Waste Into Fashion
Founded by Thomas Kimber in 2012, Karün transforms discarded materials—like fishing nets and metals—into premium eyewear. By 2021, the brand had recycled over 142 tons of ocean waste.
A Triple Impact Approach
- Empowering Communities – Over 820 locals earn income by collecting waste for Karün’s production.
- Recycling for Fashion – Waste is turned into high-quality eyewear, with a goal to fully localize production by 2030.
- Circular Design – Customers can recycle old Karün glasses for a 25% discount on their next pair.
Nature-Inspired Innovation
Kimber, deeply connected to Patagonia, aims to create regenerative solutions for the planet.
Karün eyewear, priced between €69 and €200, is available in select stores across Belgium.
