Founded in 2017, the company creates high-quality optical frames and sunglasses using low-carbon bio-acetates, recycled metals and repurposed materials, combining environmental responsibility with commercial performance. As the highest-scoring B Corp in the eyewear industry, Bird Eyewear integrates purpose into every aspect of its operations, reflecting a commitment to both people and planet.

Working closely with opticians and consumers, the brand develops collections that balance creativity, wearability and long-term retail success.
