Kids’ Eyewear // Part 1-3: Mini Me Models

The range of kids’ eyewear has never been so large! However, so is the number of kids wearing glasses. Myopia is currently a major concern, with eye experts working to address it. There are innovative lenses aimed at stopping its progression, and foundations are supporting parents in promoting healthier lifestyles for their kids.

On the bright side, the increased number of children wearing glasses has resulted in more attention being given to eyewear for this age group. There are now options for high-fashion miniature eyewear, sustainable frames, colorful glasses, and unbreakable models. Whether parents want a mini-me look or need super sturdy frames for their little one, everything is now available.

Let’s explore the wide variety of eyewear collections for young eyewear enthusiasts!

Mini-Me Models

Mini-me eyewear combines adult sophistication with kid-friendly sizes, presenting a unique style statement that goes beyond age. Some renowned eyewear brands launch these as capsule collections, while others focus solely on these trendy, kids-sized versions, elevating eyewear fashion for the younger generation:

Very French Gangsters

Let’s start with my personal favorite kids brand, that keeps ignoring me, but which I keep promoting nevertheless. The ultimate mini-me collection by Very French Gangsters.

Born from the minds of two friends in the children’s fashion industry, VERY FRENCH GANGSTERS was conceived out of a shared need: to find trendy, high-quality eyewear for their kids.

Both partners were driven by a shared dream to transform children’s eyewear from a mere corrective device to a fashion statement that captures the child’s unique persona and style.

Their eyewear, with its bold shapes and colors, effortlessly resonated with their audience, delivering a distinctive, audacious image that radiates a rebellious spirit.

VERY FRENCH GANGSTERS is not just about selling glasses; it’s about making a difference. The brand takes a step forward by donating frames to various charitable causes. Taking care of the planet, the ultimate playground for all our little ‘gangsters‘, is an essential part of the brand’s ethos. Their commitment shows in their actions, making our world a better place one frame at a time.

Augie Eyewear

Augie Eyewear was founded by a dedicated mother, Lana, who observed a void in the market for children’s glasses that truly encapsulate their vibrant individuality.

The brand, grounded in Australia, offers carefully designed glasses made of high-quality acetate to stand up to the rigours of childhood.

The collection boasts an array of styles, from the round Frankie frame and classic oval Smith to the edgy square August style. Augie Eyewear goes beyond being just eyewear, it’s a tool for youngsters to express themselves. 

Recognizing the desire of modern kids to showcase their uniqueness, this brand offers an empowering platform. 

The collection celebrates creativity with a wide range of vibrant, sparkly frames, including the understated Crystal frame, and promotes an enjoyable eyewear experience through its unisex designs. 

Additionally, Augie Eyewear demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility by supporting the Eat Up Australia charity. Each purchase aids in providing lunch for school kids in need. This blend of practicality, style, and compassion positions Augie Eyewear as an exceptional choice for children’s eyewear, enabling kids to look great and feel proud about contributing to a cause.

BBIG Eyewear

While children may be smaller and less experienced than us, their fashion sense is not to be underestimated. Kids have a natural instinct for what appeals to them, particularly when it comes to their choice of eyewear. Remember, it’s they who have to confidently strut across the playground donning them.

In the vision of BBIG, kids’s glasses are no less important than adult glasses. Children should not only appreciate the style but also the material of their glasses. Eyewear should be exciting, audacious, vibrant, unique, and far from juvenile. They should be crafted with meticulous attention to detail, offering a broad variety of styles to cater to every child’s taste. 

Like adults, kids have a clear sense of their likes and dislikes, and it’s no different when it comes to glasses.

Because BBIG believes kids have good taste too!

BBIG also introduces a range that resonates with teenagers, who thrive on individuality and resist being constrained by outdated adult perspectives. Embodying this ethos, they’ve launched “AndNowMe” eyewear, a unique brand for these trailblazing young individuals.

Manti Manti

MANTI MANTI’s children’s 3D eyewear collection is genuinely leading the way in sustainable fashion.

Made entirely from plant-derived PA11, a product of castor beans, these glasses are not only environmentally friendly but also impressively light, weighing 40% less than conventional acetate frames.

Each pair is designed, printed, and assembled in Germany, upholding environmental responsibility throughout the manufacturing process. Their use of state-of-the-art 3D printing technology results in nearly unbreakable frames, providing superior durability for energetic kids.

The frames are built to be flexible yet sturdy, capable of enduring children’s energetic playtimes. With adjustable nose pads in three sizes and flexible rubber temple tips, they ensure a snug and comfy fit for all head shapes and sizes. 

Designed with versatility in mind, MANTI MANTI glasses can accommodate all standard lens types such as Trivex, polycarbonate, and CR-39. The robust frame is capable of handling higher prescriptions, guaranteeing that every child experiences crystal-clear vision across the entire lens. 

Harry’s by Röhm

Röhm Eyewear, known for their sustainable practices, has unveiled a new line from the Harry’s collection, specifically designed for youngsters.

This collection genuinely resonates with current fashion trends and urban lifestyles, making it a favorite among the younger generation. 

The frames, crafted from metal, acetate, or ECO-acetate, are tailored to provide kids with the perfect fit.

The selection includes soft, round models and bold, angular designs with thoughtful details that make it truly one-of-a-kind and never fail to turn heads. 

Their mission is to create eyewear that aligns with a child’s personality and complements their facial structure, in a color palette that is vibrant and trendy, catering to those who love to make a statement as well as those who favor a more subtle look.
