PRODUCTION PROTOYPE SHUGS
Shugs look simple to manfacture, but proved very hard. Persistence, belief and top flight British engineering talent delivered.
corona virus delay
"karbon" style x mask
Production was delayed in the UK due to Covid-19 temporarily closing the frames manufacturing partner and precision lens supplier. This gave us more time to send out prototypes to our Tesht Pilots.
INTRODUCING
THE SHUGGER™
To demonstrate the unique face hugging ability of SHUGS versus conventional mechanically hinged sunglasses, we needed something really special (and eye catching!)
Introducing The SHUGGER™. A test rig like no other. Watch the video of it in action!
THE SHUGS KOALA™ FRAME.
IS UNIQUE.
We wanted to give our frame a distinctive name with its unique face (s)hugging ability. What animals are known for kindly and softly hugging humans? And ideally begin with a 'K'.
Introducing Koala™ frames which you can swap lenses into. Getting serious now. Swoptical™ in fact.
Face-hugging, auto folding, unique
SHUGS®
The auto-folding, face hugging polyastomer sunglasses frame led to me coining the acronym 'Shugs' for Sunglasses that Hug.
