Hemp And Turmeric – Handcrafted Eyewear

Edinburgh-based design studio Hemp Eyewear has released a new eyewear innovation using sustainable, natural materials. Pioneers of the world’s first hemp fiber eyewear, the brand has created a new optical frame using organic hemp combined with Turmeric, a bold and vibrant spice used since ancient times as a natural dye.

With an aim to experiment with natural raw materials to develop a range of plastic alternatives, the new ‘Primrose’ optical style pushes the boundaries of sustainable design by adding unexpected ingredients to Hemp Eyewear’s signature seven-step process (more details here). The Turmeric colorway is one of a range of natural pigments used in the collection, from blueberries to beetroot, and complements the bold, statement cat-eye style.
