Born in San Francisco, Designed with Purpose - Every Quay frame is thoughtfully designed in-house in San Francisco, capturing the authentic spirit of where street style, runway trends, and cultural innovation collide.
Premium Materials That Actually Matter - We use premium acetate (not cheap plastic) and CR39 lenses – the same optical-grade materials found in prescription glasses – delivering superior durability, clarity, and UV protection where most brands cut corners.
Trend-Forward, Not Trend-Following - Our design team has direct lines to fashion weeks and emerging cultural shifts, meaning when you wear Quay, you're 6 months ahead of what everyone else will be wearing.
Limited-Edition Approach - We create limited collections that evolve with the cultural moment, not mass-produced styles that everyone can buy six months later.
Digital-Native Design Process - Born in the social media age, our frames are designed to look incredible both IRL and in photos – we understand how sunglasses translate across all platforms.
Cultural Authenticity - Quay has a distinct point of view rooted in youth culture, music festivals, and creative communities – you're joining a movement, not just buying a product.
