In Greece, the sun is more than just a source of light—it’s a way of life. It illuminates ancient stories, glistens over crystal-clear waters, and casts golden hues over endless landscapes. Inspired by this radiant energy, FAOS Sunglasses embody the brilliance of Greek heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

A Name Rooted in Light

Derived from the ancient Greek word "φῶς" (phōs), meaning "light," FAOS is more than just eyewear—it’s a tribute to the glorious sun that defines Greece. Designed and handcrafted entirely in Greece, every pair reflects the essence of the Mediterranean, combining timeless elegance with modern innovation. The brand’s signature blue and white hues echo the purity of the Aegean, while the iconic Greek letter "Φ" serves as a proud emblem of its origins.

Handcrafted Excellence, Inspired by Greece

Each pair of FAOS sunglasses is meticulously handcrafted, merging traditional artistry with cutting-edge techniques. Using premium Italian Mazzuchelli acetate, these sunglasses offer superior durability, a luxurious feel, and a finish that stands the test of time. The five-barrel hinges provide 40% more resilience compared to standard eyewear, ensuring long-lasting performance. Every frame is fitted with ZEISS lenses, globally renowned for their crystal-clear optics and advanced anti-glare coatings, offering an unparalleled visual experience.

A Sustainable Vision

At FAOS, luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. The brand is committed to eco-conscious production, collaborating with responsible manufacturers who recycle industrial waste, reduce energy consumption, and prioritize ethical craftsmanship. The packaging—an award-winning design—is made from FSC-certified paper, while the cleaning cloths are crafted from recycled ocean plastic bottles, helping to protect the very seas that inspired the brand’s aesthetic. Additionally, 60% of the energy used in the manufacturing process comes from solar power, reinforcing a dedication to a cleaner future.

A Story in Every Frame

More than just an accessory, each FAOS model is a narrative of Greek culture, drawing inspiration from historic sites, sun-drenched islands, and architectural wonders. From the sleek, minimalistic lines reminiscent of Cycladic architecture to frames named after legendary locations like Mycenae and Delos, every design carries a piece of Greece’s rich history.

A New Definition of Luxury

FAOS sunglasses are not just about protecting your eyes—they’re about embracing a lifestyle of quality, heritage, and sustainability. By merging Greek craftsmanship with global innovation, FAOS offers eyewear that is bold, sophisticated, and deeply connected to its roots.

With every pair, you wear a story ~ of light, culture, and timeless Greek elegance.
