Smell-O-Vision (ABOVE)
After a successful 2018 Kickstarter campaign, Ochis Coffee eyewear, a collection of sunglasses made from organic coffee and flax resulting in durable eyewear that smells of coffee, is back with a new collection. Rejecting the use of petroleum plastic, Ochis frames decompose 100 times faster than ordinary plastic glasses. In fact, the frame completely degrades after 10 years in soil or water, and turns into a natural fertilizer should the wearer lose it. There are four colors of Carl Zeiss lenses available and the frames are Rx-able. The new spring 2019 collection will combine coffee, wood and flax with a new Kickstarter campaign launching this month. MRSP $99, ochis.coffee
