Our story
Started on
the water.
Veyra began because the three of us could not find a pair of sunglasses that cut glare properly and weighed nothing. So we ground our own.
Two engineers and a surf guide.
It started with a pair that fogged on every dawn paddle-out and left a line on the nose by noon. We rented a workshop in Lisbon, bought a second-hand lens grinder, and started over from the glass.
Nine films, not one.
A single polarizing film warps in heat and leaks glare at low sun. Stacking nine thinner films at staggered tensions took two years and hundreds of failed lenses. The stack passed its first heat-soak in March.
Lens care, for life.
Coatings wear. So we decided to renew them for free, for as long as you own the pair. It is the only warranty we could write that we would want ourselves.
Series 01.
Six frames, three collections, one spec sheet. Every pair is checked by a person before it ships. We are small on purpose.
Manifesto
Glare is not brightness.
It is light that arrives sideways,
bouncing off water, road, glass, chrome,
and hiding what sits underneath.
We do not make the world darker.
We make it arrive straight.
What we hold to
Four rules, no exceptions.
Glass first
Every decision starts at the lens. The frame exists to hold it still.
Measured
If we cannot put a number on it, we do not print it.
Light, always
Twenty-seven grams is a ceiling, not a target.
Made to keep
Free re-coating forever. Replacement at cost.
We are small on purpose. Every pair is checked by a person before it ships.
