MessyWeekend sunglasses – Danish design, high quality, and fair prices
Sunglasses are not just a practical accessory – they are also an important part of one's personal style. But if you have ever wondered why some sunglasses cost several thousand kroner, you are not alone.
It was precisely this wonder that led to the creation of MESSYWEEKEND in 2018.
The brand was started with an ambition to challenge an industry where prices are often much higher than production costs. The goal was simple: to create quality eyewear in luxury materials at a fairer price.
A Danish eyewear brand from Copenhagen
MESSYWEEKEND was founded in Copenhagen after months of research in the eyewear industry.
Here, the founders discovered that a large number of the world's eyewear brands and optician chains are actually owned by the same company, meaning that competition in the industry is less than many believe.
Therefore, MESSYWEEKEND wanted to create an alternative:
A brand where you get high quality and design – without paying extra for a logo.
All glasses are still designed at the brand's office in the heart of Copenhagen.
Quality materials and uncompromising craftsmanship
MESSYWEEKEND operates on a simple philosophy:
If you use good materials and proper craftsmanship, you can create glasses that feel luxurious and last a long time.
Therefore, the brand uses, among other things:
-
strong hinges for better durability
-
lenses with UV400 A+B protection
-
high-quality materials like acetate
-
optically clear lenses
Acetate frames are often made by hand, which provides a more solid and comfortable pair of glasses.
As an extra assurance, MESSYWEEKEND also offers a lifetime warranty on their acetate frames.
UV400 – why it's important
When choosing sunglasses, it's not just about design.
The most important thing is actually eye protection.
MESSYWEEKEND sunglasses are equipped with UV400 lenses, meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
UV protection is important because prolonged exposure to UV radiation can affect the eyes and increase the risk of eye damage over time.
Therefore, good sunglasses should always have full UV protection.
From Copenhagen to the rest of the world
What started in a small attic room on Købmagergade in Copenhagen has now grown into a global brand.
MESSYWEEKEND is currently present in more than 35 markets worldwide.
The brand is sold in more than 1000 stores, including:
-
Selfridges
-
Harvey Nichols
-
Illum
-
Magasin du Nord
-
Intersport
In addition, the brand operates its own webshops in several countries and has millions of visitors to its websites every year.
The ambition is to become one of the world's leading affordable luxury eyewear brands.
A brand focused on responsibility
MESSYWEEKEND also has a strong focus on giving back.
Therefore, since its inception, the brand has had a Clean Oceans program.
For every product sold, the brand contributes to the collection of plastic in nature and the oceans through collaboration with an NGO.
So far, MESSYWEEKEND's community has helped remove over 260 tons of plastic from nature.
This is an effort the brand itself highlights as one of the things they are most proud of.
Sunglasses that combine style and function
MESSYWEEKEND sunglasses are designed to function in everyday life – both as protection and as a stylish accessory.
The design combines:
-
Scandinavian minimalism
-
modern shapes
-
functional materials
The result is sunglasses that can be used for everyday wear, holidays, and active days in the sun.
