We Are Childe
Independent Australian eyewear crafted from better materials and built with a design-first approach to style, quality and sustainability.
BETWEEN SALT + STREET
CHILDE is an independent Australian eyewear brand creating premium sunglasses designed for movement across worlds - ocean, city, music, travel and everyday life.
Born from a desire to create eyewear with a lighter footprint and a stronger point of view, CHILDE combines modern design aesthetics with environmentally considered materials and boutique craftsmanship.
Our collections are influenced by artists, musicians, surfers, creatives and cultural outsiders who see style as an extension of identity rather than trend.
Every frame is designed to feel timeless, effortless and distinctive - made to become part of the way you move through the world.
DESIGNED WITH BETTER MATERIALS
CHILDE frames are handcrafted using premium plant-based and bio-acetate materials paired with lightweight plant-based bio lenses.
We work with boutique optical manufacturers and specialist makers globally who share our commitment to quality, longevity and responsible production.
Our approach focuses on creating products that feel premium, wear beautifully and reduce unnecessary environmental impact wherever possible.
The Childe Ouroboros
The CHILDE Ouroboros represents the infinite cycle of renewal, evolution and transformation.
A symbol rooted in nature, movement and rebirth - reflecting our belief that the future should be approached with greater awareness and consideration.
It stands as a reminder that style and sustainability can coexist without compromise.
THE CHILDE TRIBE
CHILDE exists within a global community of surfers, musicians, artists, photographers, filmmakers and cultural disruptors.
The brand continues to evolve through the people who wear it and the worlds they move through.
Built for those who value individuality, creativity and conscious progression.
THE FUTURE IS NATURE
We believe better products begin with better decisions.
From plant-based materials and repair-focused initiatives to small-batch craftsmanship and conscious design choices, CHILDE continues to evolve with longevity and responsibility in mind.
This is an ongoing process - one driven by curiosity, creativity and progression.
