Description
Why settle for plain when you can have a little sparkle? The Piper Shimmer is the cat-eye with a wink. Oversized, polarised, and finished in a glitter acetate that catches the light just right. Proof that everyday sunglasses don't have to be boring.
Most glitter sunglasses feel novelty. The Piper Shimmer isn't most sunglasses. The shimmer is embedded in the acetate itself, not a coating or a print, which means it lasts and it reads as premium rather than plastic. The oversized cat-eye shape grounds the sparkle in something grown-up and wearable, so you can bring a little shine to everyday outfits without feeling dressed up. Perfect for anyone who thinks accessories should have a bit of personality.
Designed in New Zealand. Built to last. Worn everywhere, from morning coffee runs to weekend getaways.
Why you'll love the Piper Shimmer polarised sunglasses:
- Oversized cat-eye silhouette
- Polarised UV400 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection to reduce glare and eye strain
- Category 3 UV protection, perfect for driving, beach days, and high-glare environments
- Premium acetate frames, a plant-based material derived from tree pulp and cotton, and a sustainable alternative to plastic
- Complies with New Zealand and Australian sunglasses standards (AS/NZS 1067)
- Designed in New Zealand by a small, women-led team
If you love the look but want a different colour, the Piper family also comes in Black/Brown, Purple, Tort and Black.
Also available with prescription lenses.

These glasses are so cute and such great quality. As a Mum with kids its invaluable to have a pair of sunnies that stay on your head and these go nowhere when i'm rushing around. The polarising is awesome on glary days too.

I looked at these glasses so many times but once I saw them on Black Friday deals I couldn't help myself any longer! and I am not disappointed, they fit lovely and tight, the glitter is awesome in the sun and can come off dark brown in the shade which I love and they are a style that elevates any outfit.
So excited to hear you got your hands on BGs Casey! We agree Piper Shimmers elevate any outfit!! Love this x
S
This is my second pair, originally had the tort and they finally broke after 3 years but i am a rough gal so had the opportunity to try shimmer, my golly i wuuuuv them as always. A nice light pink/clear colour would rock my world 🩵
K
I was torn trying to pick between the shimmer and the tort as both are STONNING! Ultimately I have chosen the shimmer and received so many compliments! I have a big nose and they fit perfectly. Absolutely love them
Amazing Kristy! We LOVE the shimmer! Thank you so muhc for your support x

I have owned the torte pair of the same style for a couple of years and I have had so so many compliments. Naturally, I couldn't resist getting another pair when I saw the glitter 😁 already had a number of lovely comments and queries with this pair as well. Such a flattering shape, great quality. Perfect accessory x
Thanks for loving your Pipers, the Shimmer is such a fan favourite!

OMG! These are the best sunnies ever! Im a huge piper fan and have them in a few colours but I think this colourway is the GOAT of the pipers, big call I know ☺️ but so easy to style casually or dressy 😍🩷 Great job George!! 🤩❤️
Eeeeek the Shimmers are so the GOAT! We cannot agree more x
