QUALITY
WHERE ARE THEY MADE?

We’d love to share our updated process of creating our frames! With our increased demand over the years, we’ve made many wonderful partnerships and networks around the globe. All of our frames are designed in New Orleans at our HQ location. Our product development team then sources materials throughout Europe and Asia, with final hand assembly performed at family-owned factories in Asia. Once they arrive back in Louisiana, our team carefully finishes detailing and inspects each frame before sending them out to the customer.

Each KREWE frame is thoughtfully designed, with some styles handcrafted in special, limited production runs. This means that they are uniquely designed the way you see. While our frames cannot be customized, we may be able to help offer custom lenses. Please reach out to at krewe@KREWE.com to see what your options are. Please note that custom lenses are cut specifically for you and therefore final sale.

I LOVE THE OPTICAL STYLES, BUT I DON’T NEED A PRESCRIPTION. ARE THE STOCK LENSES SAFE TO WEAR? CAN I HAVE THE LENSES REPLACED WITH SOMETHING ELSE?

KREWE ophthalmic frames come with high-quality, shatter-resistant CR-39 lenses with an AR (anti-reflective) coating – making them perfect for everyday wear. If you’d like to replace the stock lenses with sun lenses, blue light lenses or readers, please reach out to krewe@KREWE.com to see what your options are. Please note that custom lenses are cut specifically for you and therefore final sale.

I HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FROM MY DOCTOR. CAN I HAVE MY LENSES FILLED?

Most KREWE frames are prescription ready — be sure to look for “Prescription Ready” in the details of the item before checking out. While we are currently unable to fulfill your lens prescription online, most of our KREWE locations can facilitate this process in-house. Some KREWE stores accept ophthalmic prescriptions within one year of the prescription date. Make sure to bring a copy of your original prescription with you when you come in. To find KREWE locations and info check out our store locator. Please note that prescription lenses are ordered and cut specifically for you, therefore are final sale.

WHAT EXACTLY DO BLUE LENSES BLOCK?

Overexposure to blue light wavelengths from screens throughout the day — can lead to symptoms such as eye fatigue, strained or blurry vision, headaches, and sleep cycle disruption. We took our premium, scratch-resistant CR39 lenses & equipped them with anti-reflective and special coatings to filter out harmful blue light and UV light without distorting your screen or altering your clarity of vision. For optimal results, we suggest wearing your blue light filtering glasses during all screen-watching activities.

ARE THESE TRANSITION LENSES?

No, our blue light filtering lenses are NOT transition lenses — meaning they will not darken in the sunlight. However, our blue light lenses offer UV protection so we’ve always got you covered.
