The cat-eye sunglass for kids who have opinions about what they wear. Flamingo Pink, playful cat-eye silhouette, and the same certified UV protection as every Te Rā pair — in a style that makes four year olds feel like they chose it themselves (because they did).

Named after māhanga — the Te Reo Māori word for twin or pair — the Māhanga is made for kids who love a look that stands out. The cat-eye shape is fashion-forward without being over the top, and Flamingo Pink is bold enough to be a statement but soft enough for every day. TR90 frames that flex and survive, UV400 polarised lenses, AS/NZS 1067.1:2016 certified — safe enough for the NZ sun, stylish enough that they'll fight to keep them on.

FAQ

What age are Māhanga sunglasses for?

Māhanga is made for ages 4 and up.

How do they fit?

It has a playful cat-eye shape that is lightweight and comfortable all day. Measure across your child's face from temple to temple and check the size chart. All children are different, so the age range is a guide.

Are they really unbreakable?

Virtually unbreakable is the honest way to put it. Nothing is truly indestructible, but the TR90 frame is flexible, not rigid. It bends and twists, then springs back into shape instead of snapping.

What does the AS/NZS 1067.1:2016 certification cover?

It is the current New Zealand and Australian safety standard for sunglasses. It tests things like UV filtering, lens strength and impact resistance. Every pair of Te Rā sunglasses is certified to it, and the lenses are UV400 Category 3 polarised.

How do I clean and care for them?

Rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft microfibre cloth. Skip paper towels and rough fabric, which can scratch the lenses. The TR90 frame is flexible, so everyday bends and knocks are fine.
