WHAT WE BUILD
Custom sunglasses we build
From polarized lenses to designer silhouettes, our sunglass manufacturers bring your custom eyewear vision to life with a built-in production team handling briefs, samples, and tech packs.
Prescription
Custom sunglasses with corrective lenses tailored to individual vision needs.
Polarized
Glare-reducing lenses ideal for driving, water sports, and outdoor lifestyle brands.
Aviator
Classic teardrop-shaped frames originally designed for pilots, now a timeless private label staple.
Designer
Fashion-forward frames with premium detailing for white label and branded eyewear lines.
Clip on
Attachable sunglass lenses that fit over existing prescription glasses for on-the-go UV protection.
Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
From acrylic sunglasses to your most elaborate vision
A clean acrylic frame with no embellishment is straightforward factory work. A fully developed custom pair of sunglasses featuring rhinestone / crystal detailing across temples and bridge - that is the construction brands actually brief our production team to build. The elaborate end is the norm here, not the exception.

A tech pack or sample
Send a spec or a reference sunglass and we build to it.

Why source custom sunglasses with THE/STUDIO
THE/STUDIO gives you a production team built in - from your first brief to your finished custom sunglasses. Instead of cold-emailing sunglass manufacturers and hoping for a reply, you tap into a vetted factory network of 1,500+ partners, request low-MOQ samples in materials like acrylic, wood/bamboo, or zinc alloy/metal, and move from concept to prototype without juggling freelancers or sourcing agents. Whether you're developing private label polarized styles or custom aviator frames with rhinestone detailing, the platform keeps every spec, sample, and conversation in one place.
Every pair ships on your terms. You own the spec - lens type, frame material, branding placement - and your dedicated team manages tech packs, factory communication, and quality checks so nothing slips through. From designer silhouettes for women to clip-on styles for men, THE/STUDIO helps you hit your drop dates with white label or fully custom sunglasses that match your vision. The result: consistent quality, clear timelines, and a manufacturing process you actually control.
