The Vision Behind the Shade: An Inclusive Approach to Luxury Eyewear
The Genesis of Shades
“I was tired of searching for a pair of luxury nude sunglasses that actually complimented my complexion, so instead of waiting to come across it, I created it.”
These words from our Founder and Designer, Marsha Douglas-Sydnor, are the very foundation of Shades of Shades. More than a brand, we are a movement born from a simple but powerful need: for every individual to find eyewear that doesn’t just block the sun, but celebrates their unique beauty. Our journey began with a frustration—the endless search for a nude that truly felt like you—and culminated in a creation that redefines what “nude” means in the world of luxury accessories.
Crafted with Intention: The Art of Italian Eyewear
Nestled in the breathtaking Lakes Valley of northern Italy, our artisans pour centuries of tradition and expertise into every single pair of glasses. Here, amidst a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship, we transform the highest quality of Italian-sourced acetate materials from the renowned Mazzucchelli into wearable art. Each frame is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring a premium feel, an impeccable fit, and a piece of Italian elegance that you can wear every day.
