AKILA is an independent eyewear brand based in Los Angeles focused on handmade unisex sunglasses at anti-industry pricing. AKILA frames are handcrafted from plant-based acetate and stainless steel with Optical Class 1 nylon lenses. Each style goes through meticulous design, engineering and production processes to ensure top quality eyewear. Every pair of sunglasses takes over 90 days to complete and requires nearly 100 steps from start to finish, meaning the sunglasses you end up wearing will last for years to come.
