Jane Sunglasses

A bold reimagining of the classic aviator in an oversized shape, the Jane is handcrafted from warm, richly patterned Italian acetate — the kind of frame that has a satisfying weight to it, sits smoothly against your skin, and won't snag your hair. Classic tortoise, done with intention.

MATERIALS

Frames: Natural and renewable cellulose acetate / bio-acetate (Italian)

Made: Handcrafted from recyclable Italian acetate using responsible production methods. MACHETE is committed to transitioning fully to high-quality acetates that are bio or plant-based, derived from biodegradable, renewable resources like wood pulp or cotton linters.

Sustainability: Frames are made using natural, non-petroleum-based cellulose acetate — an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic — as part of MACHETE's ongoing commitment to responsible materials and slow, intentional making.

STYLED BY LADDER

Reach for these with a linen shirt dress and leather sandals for an easy warm-weather uniform, or let the classic tortoise frame do the work with a printed silk blouse and a simple gold earring.

ABOUT MACHETE

MACHETE is an Atlanta-based accessories brand founded in 2015 by designer Jennifer "JJ" Matchett, who started with four earring designs and a belief that everyday accessories — made with care and intention — could become heirloom-quality keepsakes.

Drawing on a background in vintage buying and a lifelong collection of antique pieces, she built the brand around natural cellulose acetate: a renewable material derived from cotton and wood pulp that offers a responsible alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Every frame is handcrafted, and the brand prioritizes quality over quantity — introducing new pieces in limited runs and only producing more to meet demand.
