Seconds & Samples - Each pair has a minor cosmetic flaw - a small mark, a light scratch, or a slight variation in the frame, or even better, just been used in a photoshoot once! The exact fault is noted next to the specific pair you choose. Same lenses, same UV protection, same bored·george quality, for a lot less. Because they’re one-offs, seconds & samples are final sale: no returns or exchanges.

Tortoiseshell earns its spot in every wardrobe for a reason. The Ned Tort is our oversized angular frame in warm, marbled acetate - polarised, UV400, and made to be worn on repeat.

Designed in New Zealand. Built to last.

Why you’ll love the Ned Tort:

• Oversized angular silhouette - a structured, unisex shape that reads classic and current at the same time
• Polarised UV400 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection to cut glare and eye strain
• Category 3 UV protection - perfect for driving, beach days, and bright glare
• Lightweight acetate frames for comfort
• Premium acetate, a plant-based material derived from tree pulp and cotton, and a sustainable alternative to plastic
• Warm tortoiseshell pattern with natural variation in the acetate, so no two pairs are exactly alike
• Complies with New Zealand and Australian sunglasses standards (AS/NZS 1067)
• Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team

The oversized angular frame, and why tort works

The angular, oversized frame has been a wardrobe staple for decades - the shape you reach for when you want structure without fuss. The tortoiseshell is warm against most skin tones, quietly lifts whatever you’re wearing, and looks just as good behind the wheel as it does on the walk to grab coffee. Not trying too hard. Just a timeless colour with a bit of depth, and the versatility to go everywhere you do.

The Ned Tort is part of our Ned family. If you love the shape but want something different, Ned also comes in Black and Orange.
