The Supa Phreak

Crap Eyewear

The Supa Phreak

Crap Eyewear has a tonge-in-cheek aesthetic and marketing approach, but don't let that fool you: This brand uses optical-grade materials to create fun, funky, and timeless glasses that call up trends of the past from every era. These rainbow shades are particularly appealing to us because, in addition to looking bold yet sleek, they also benefit a great cause.

"15% of this product’s sales benefit the Center for Black Equity, the global leader of the Black LGBTQ+ Pride movement," the company says of the Supa Phreak, so buy knowing you're pulling the one-two punch of getting a great pair of shades and investing a little cash in marginalized communities.
