Birdies - plant-based eyewear for children
Birdies® are built for real childhood — engineered to handle knocks, drops and daily wear, these frames combine flexibility with impressive strength, reducing the risk of breakage during active play.
The lightweight construction keeps them comfortable from morning through to bedtime, while the secure fit helps them stay in place through everything from the playground to the classroom.
At their core, Birdies® are made from a plant-based polymer derived from processed castor beans. This natural material offers a more considered alternative to conventional plastics, delivering durability without compromising on sustainability. The result is a frame that performs under pressure while aligning with a lower-impact approach to materials.
Designed with both parents and children in mind, Birdies® balance resilience, comfort and responsibility — eyewear that’s ready to keep up, whatever the day brings

The real magic bean
Birdies are made from processed castor beans, a new (and old) natural polymer that is lighter than aluminium and strong enough to be used in vehicles.
These frames are virtually indestructible. Designed to withstand rough treatment, they’re bendable, throwable, and come with impact and shatter-resistant lenses. The low-density material is 10 times stronger than the plastics in car bumpers, and 13 times stronger than common bioplastics. The perfect material for inquisitive minds.
Castor plants grow extremely fast and do not require pesticides or chemicals to thrive. Just like children
