Sleek Ocean-Preserving Glasses
M.I.A. and Clean Waves Debut Sunglasses That Reduce Ocean Plastic
Kanesa D — January 22, 2025
London-based rapper and singer M.I.A. unveiled her first-ever eyewear collection, created in collaboration with Parley for the Oceans. This exclusive capsule is part of Parley’s Clean Waves initiative, a luxury brand that blends circular design with environmental impact.
The collection, launched on June 7, features sunglasses crafted from reclaimed fishing nets and marine plastic debris. Parley collects these materials from beaches and coastal communities before they can harm aquatic ecosystems or end up in landfills. Each pair comes with engraved GPS coordinates pointing to the specific area your purchase supports, connecting consumers directly to the impact of their choice.
Parley for the Oceans has long been at the forefront of turning ocean plastic into valuable, high-quality materials, and this collaboration with M.I.A. elevates the cause to new audiences.
