OTIS Eyewear: style with substance

The Australian eyewear brand, OTIS Eyewear has added more styles – now available also in Europe, designed to transcend the boundaries between style, durability, sustainability and technical excellence. OTIS is B Corp Certified

Founded in Yallingup, Western Australia, the independent brand, OTIS creates designs suitable for sports and the great outdoors, as well as for everyday city living. The focus for OTIS has always been on delivering style with substance, and a noteworthy commitment to sustainable design. “We really try to stay away from fast-fashion trends that only last a few months,” says Nathan Omodei, Director & CEO of OTIS. “Our focus has always been on creating timeless designs that outlast seasonal shifts and stay relevant for years to come. Our goal is to deliver frames that add genuine value to our customers’ lives and adventures, combining durability, comfort, and classic style.” Above: Birdie by OTIS Eyewear

Their latest seasonal collection continues to deliver crowd favourites like the Swiss grilamid design for men, model After Dark from their debut season, as well as adding further appeal with a mix of both fashion and active frames.
The collection includes premium acetate and fashion-forward designs such as new style, Birdie (top), and the clean, crisp, and quietly confident model Chorus (above), a reworking of  the iconic wayfarer shape crafted from certified biodegradable Eco-Acetate.

For those who seek a sports design OTIS highlights their Vanta Sport style this season. Built for the elements, this active frame features OTIS’s signature LIT Lens technology, built on scratch-resistant mineral glass. The LIT Lens boosts natural colours, increases contrast, and cuts glare. A pinnacle visual experience

LIT Lens technology at OTIS Eyewear / Light Improvement Technology is the next evolution in OTIS Mineral Glass lenses. The new L.I.T. lens offers clarity through colour enhancement. The exclusive Light Improvement Technology lifts primary colours in one’s surroundings while blocking out inter-primary shades to make vision more vivid and more precise.

Otis Eyewear: the independent Australian brand is now certified B Corp

Last month, OTIS Eyewear recertified as a B Corp, alongside its parent company The Leisure Collective

The independent Australian-based sunglasses brand has improved its overall Impact Score to a highly commendable 94.6, an impressive confirmation that making small changes every single day adds up to a lasting, positive difference.
“This is the result of a huge effort from the entire team,” says Nathan Omodei, Director and CEO of The Leisure Collective. “Having the B Corp stamp is an incredible achievement, but we’ve realised its true value is the process, looking closely at the day-to-day and remembering why we do what we do. It’s both a pat on the back at what the team has achieved and a reminder that there’s so much more to be done. We will absolutely continue the good work.”

Sustainability is at the core of OTIS’s culture. Born on the rugged coast of Western Australia, the brand believes that protecting the environments which inspire them starts at the source. This recertification highlights several of their ongoing initiatives.
Mineral Glass: OTIS has been using endlessly recyclable mineral glass lenses since day one, saving almost a ton of plastic each year compared to standard lenses, they say. Made from non-toxic, natural materials like sand and soda ash, these lenses deliver exceptional clarity, permanent tinting, and high UV protection, lasting far longer than plastic alternatives.

Biodegradable and Bio-Based Frames: OTIS continue to evolve their Eco-Acetate range. These frames are made from renewable resources like cotton seeds and are certified biodegradable. The brand’s Eco-Grilamid frames are crafted from a bio-based resin derived from castor oil, reducing the use of fossil-fuels in production.

Plastic-Free Packaging: OTIS packaging is now 100% free from non-biodegradable plastic, earning a “Beyond Best Practice” rating from the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation. They have also replaced single-use plastic sleeves with a recycled PET cleaning wrap for their glasses.
As a certified B Corp, OTIS continues to audit and refine its processes. They remain dedicated to creating premium, timeless eyewear that suits everyday adventure.
