Logaan Aviator Sunglasses
Overview
The Logaan Aviator Sunglasses are a modern take on the classic 1970s aviator silhouette, rebuilt in hand-cut acetate for a warmer, slightly chunkier look than traditional metal aviators. They suit style-conscious buyers who want a retro vibe without the fragility of thin metal frames and who care about small sustainability wins—frames use 95% acetate and 5% recycled brass, while lenses are 100% plastic with 50% recycled content. With 100% UVA/UVB protection and a price positioned for broad appeal, these are a strong option for everyday wear, city commuting, and casual travel. Spot-clean care and the brand’s use of recycled factory scrap metal make them an easy pick for someone balancing fashion, function, and modest eco-consciousness.
