SEAGRASS SUNGLASSES DECORATED WITH VASCULAR SEA PLANT POSIDONIA OCEANICA.
PHEE is harnessing the dead leaf of the vascular sea plant Posidonia Oceanica from the beaches of Syros . According to scientists, Posidonia Oceanica is one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. One does not need science is to notice that it is annually washed up in abundance on the Mediterranean shores that is disposed as waste. However, after 3 years of Research & Development PHEE’s team has brought those leaves back to life, being the first company worldwide to fully utilize them as a primary raw material. A pioneering natural material has been developed and patented as such.
IMPORTANT Notice:
All our frames are RX ready except the Seagrass Collection. Phee-board is a natural product made with eco friendly bonding materials. The humidity of the raw material is extracted and even though the seagrass is washed before drying, sometimes the content in sea salt is higher than wanted. During the removal of the lenses, the Phee-board material might be damaged. In case you wish to replace the lenses or add your prescription, contact us at support@zeyelo.com
Why PHEEboard Seagrass Posidonia Oceanica ?
It is a natural and unique material. It’s 100% water resistant and has UV resistance.
Phee board is surprisingly light and helps reduce the amounts of wasted seagrass that are washed up in Greek landfills
