Our story

Let us tell you about our story

We don't believe in mediocre

Vilo was founded by husband and wife duo, Josh and Francesca.

From curiosity birthed a passion for ecologically conscious bamboo and other sustainably sourced woods. We love that this medium is used, as each pair of sunglasses or prescription frames is unique, with the veins and colours exclusive to each.

All our wooden sunglasses are handcrafted to create pieces of lasting quality and style. Using natural woods such as maple, zebrawood, walnut and bamboo we ensure you hold a pair worthy of your journey.

We believe in being sustainable

We're passionate about sustainability. In a world full of plastic, we bring a sense of individuality through the unique and natural qualities of FSC sustainably sourced wood.

We love that each pair of sunglasses you wear, you are doing your part for the global environment.

We give back

Human trafficking is robbing millions of their freedom. But we are coming alongside A21 to change that. Because we believe when we all do our part in the fight against slavery, we will see more lives experience freedom, independence, and full restoration.

With every purchase made, Vilo will donate 10% of the profits to A21 and their goal to end slavery around the world.

For all your support, we say thank you!
