EveryWear was established in 2020 by Ruben van Bodegom and Alain Schutter, associates since childhood who reconnected during their academic pursuits. Their motivation stemmed from an alarming tale of pollution observed by their acquaintance, international kitesurfer Stijn Mul, on a beach in Brazil. This experience galvanized them to fuse their passion for exploration and travel with an unwavering dedication to environmental sustainability.
Mul’s encounter, in which he was compelled to clear a significant amount of plastic waste to launch his kite on a formerly pristine beach, underscored the urgency of environmental conservation. This principle harmonizes seamlessly with our founders’ adventurous inclinations and reverence for nature.
Creating a Brand with a Conscience
EveryWear stands as a leading figure in the eyewear industry, championing the push for sustainable and ethical practices. Their commitment to environmental care is reflected in every product, utilizing groundbreaking techniques and eco-friendly materials. The debut product, Cape Town sunglasses, encapsulates their vow to minimize environmental harm. Manufactured with advanced 3D SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) technology and sustainable castor beans, these glasses ensure maximum utilization of raw materials, with only 2% waste production.
The eyewear company that has been making significant strides in the industry has been honored with the “Entrepreneur of the Year” award in their region. This award recognizes their impressive commitment to both innovation and sustainability.
The company’s unwavering advocacy for environmental stewardship has not gone unnoticed either, reinforcing their reputation as a trailblazer in their field.
A Reflection of Nature and Adventure
The forthcoming ‘Earth Collection’ is a tribute to nature’s core elements, a concept the designers are passionate about protecting. Every item in this collection mirrors the complex texture of wood or the unique blue and gold marble patterns, symbolizing their adoration for natural beauty. The collection is set to make its debut at BOLD XXL in Brabanthallen, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, presenting a unique 3D printing technique to the Netherlands. The release underscores the designers’ unending quest for innovation.
