AKILA is an independent eyewear brand from Los Angeles focused on handmade, limited-run eyewear.
We are advocates of sustainability and craft Akila’s eyewear from eco-friendly acetate, optical grade lenses, and plastic-free biodegradable packaging. Style and sustainability can coexist.
All AKILA sunglasses are designed in Los Angeles and handcrafted to last a lifetime. Each pair is made from eco-friendly cellulose acetate and optical grade lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection.
AKILA is beholden to no one. We exercise complete independence in what we create and who we collaborate with, to bring you the best experience possible.
AKILA’s Research & Development lab pushes the limit of what’s possible with eyewear through innovative design and experimentation.
It’s no secret that cellulose acetate is Akila’s favorite material to work with. The material’s inherent warmth, adjustability, and vibrance of color make acetate the ideal frame material. Combined with stainless steel hardware and barrel hinges for long-lasting durability.
Akila’s optical-quality nylon lenses that are less prone to breakage and provide near perfect optical quality. All AKILA lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays to keep your eyes fully protected.
AKILA partners with friends, artists, and like-minded brands to bring ideas to life. We value artisanship and make sure Akila’s collaborations always introduce new and worthwhile selections to Akila’s audience.
