The eyewear company does all it can to operate in a green way. It offsets its carbon emissions through its partnerships with ASEC and NativeEnergy, designs its products in a solar-powered studio, and eliminates paper waste in its offices. Some of that paper waste is shredded to make an eco-friendly alternative to traditional foam packing peanuts. Any extra frames find a new home at the Southern California School of Optometry.

While Allyn Scura creates many new sunglasses and spectacles, those modern designs aren't our only option. The label also has a vast collection of glasses from the 1700s to the 1980s, which are just waiting for sun lovers striving for an authentic vintage look.

And when your shades are looking a little worse for wear, don't throw them away. Allyn Scura invites its customers to send in used sunglasses. The label absorbs the shipping fee, so there's no cost to consumers, and then sends them on to charities working in third-world nations.

Since its inception last spring, Prism has impressed fans with its handmade vintage frames. After Anna fitted one pair of glasses with dark lenses the response was enormous, leaving her no choice but to introduce a range of shades.

Just like the spectacles, the sunglasses are named after the world's most fashionable cities. There's the classic New York, the playfully flirtatious Paris, smoldering Rio, edgy London, and vibrant Rome.

All styles are oversized to provide maximum sun protection. The individual designs are available in a range of frame colors and either brown or gray tinted lenses. At £245 they're not cheap, but remember that each one is handcrafted. That attention to detail helps us to justify the higher than average cost.

The new Prism sunglasses are available at a range of retailers in the UK, Europe, the United States, and Asia, as well as the brand's online store.

Ray-Ban have been producing the Wayfarer style since 1952 and they saw some popularity in the 1950's and 1960's, but their popularity peaked in the 80's, and have recently started making a come back. Unfortunately not everyone can afford the designer originals so here is a cheap alternative.

The best thing about this pair is the range of colors and patterns these shades come in, with both dark or clear lens options. For the price, you could order a few pairs to wear with different outfits to create a really coordinated or perfectly mis-matched look. They really allow you to customize your look and have something that not everyone on the street is going to be sporting despite the popularity of the style.

Keep in mind that at this cheap price you are getting what you pay for, plastic replica/knock-off sunglasses with a printed pattern that are not the "designer original" you may be after. That said, Amazon reviewers did judge that the plastic was heavy and durable.
