FAQ
What age are Wai sunglasses for?
Wai is made for ages 5 through 12+.
How do they fit?
It has a retro, wayfarer-inspired shape that suits ages 5 through 12+. 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.
Also available in Flamingo Pink. Check our size chart for sizing guidance.
