It’s official – Aussies are over basic sunnies. This season, it’s all about acetate sunglasses. If you're wondering why every second person on Bondi Beach or strutting through Sydney’s CBD seems to have a glossier, bolder, more vibrant pair of shades, here’s the scoop.

Why Acetate? It’s Like “Sunnies, But Make It Luxe”

Acetate is the VIP material of eyewear right now. It’s made from renewable sources like cotton and wood pulp (yes, that’s right – plant-based sunnies!), making it eco-friendly. But let’s be real: it’s the killer style and comfort that has people hooked. Unlike standard plastic frames that might start to pinch after an hour or look a little bland, acetate’s got that high-quality, glossy vibe that screams “I spent hours choosing the perfect pair.” And, because of its flexibility, it molds comfortably to your face – no pinching, no slipping, just pure laid-back Aussie ease.

Meet Portofino Tangerine: The Sunglasses that Practically Scream Summer

Our Portofino Tangerine sunglasses are a love letter to everything vibrant and summery. Think of them as your daily dose of vitamin C, but for your eyes. These acetate frames are bold and bright, with a citrusy pop of color that instantly turns any outfit into a whole vibe. Plus, they’re super lightweight, meaning you can wear them all day without feeling like you’re carrying a mini-barbell on your nose. With the perfect combo of fun and high-quality, Portofino Tangerine is what Aussie summer days are all about.

Also on the Acetate Scene: Qetello

If you’re loving the acetate trend, Qetello’s collection is a goldmine. They’re all about creating sunglasses that look like a dream and feel like a hug for your face. With colors and patterns ranging from classic chic to wow-level bold, Qetello’s got something for every style. Each frame is designed to make you look like you know what’s up in the fashion world without even trying. They’re sleek, they’re modern, and they’re a lot more interesting than just throwing on another pair of plain black sunnies.

Why Acetate is the Aussie Vibe We Needed

Let’s face it, Australians love a good blend of style and comfort – and acetate sunglasses are exactly that. Not only are they a sustainable choice, but they’re also hard-wearing and keep up with your lifestyle, whether you’re surfing, brunching, or just generally living your best life. This summer, join the acetate revolution and add some serious color and comfort to your sunny days with Portofino Tangerine or a pair from Qetello.
