Why I Started Chiviare: The Problem with Sunglasses

By Kyle Lewis

When I think about sunglasses, two common scenarios always come to mind. First, there’s the cheap pair you grab from a dollar store rack. You know the ones—they feel flimsy, scratch easily, and snap in half after a few uses. Then there’s the other extreme: luxury-brand sunglasses. They’re undeniably stylish, but the price tag makes you question if you’re paying for quality or just the logo stamped on the side.

For years, I found myself stuck between these two extremes. I’d buy inexpensive sunglasses knowing they wouldn’t last long, or I’d splurge on a high-end pair only to realize they weren’t worth the price. I wanted something better. Something durable, stylish, and fairly priced—a pair of sunglasses that didn’t compromise quality for cost or vice versa.

That’s where Chiviare comes in.

The Vision Behind Chiviare

I started Chiviare because I knew there was a better way to make sunglasses. I wanted to create a product that bridges the gap between the fragile, low-cost options and the overpriced luxury brands. With Chiviare, my goal was simple:

• Offer sunglasses that are designed to last, using premium materials.

• Provide sleek, modern styles that you’ll actually be excited to wear.

• Keep prices accessible without cutting corners on quality.

Chiviare is the solution I wish I had years ago. Our sunglasses are thoughtfully crafted to withstand daily wear, offering both durability and timeless design. By cutting out unnecessary markups, we ensure you get an exceptional product at a fair price.

Because Sunglasses Shouldn’t Be a Compromise

Starting Chiviare wasn’t just about creating a brand; it was about solving a problem. I wanted to give people a better choice—something I was searching for myself. Whether you’re protecting your eyes from the sun or making a fashion statement, you deserve sunglasses that you can rely on without breaking the bank.

So, if you’re tired of cheap, disposable sunglasses or overpriced options that don’t deliver, welcome to Chiviare. We’re here to change the way you see sunglasses.

Here’s to quality, style, and fairness—because you shouldn’t have to compromise on any of them.
