Design Your Own Sunglasses
Printed all over with your artwork, illustrations or graphic designs, custom sunglasses are the hottest way to showcase individual style. A pair of cool sunglasses is an essential accessory for both men and women universally, so design your own sunglasses to stand out from the designer brands. Made from shatterproof plastic with 100% UVA and UVB protection, these are fashionable yet functional, allowing you to express your personality without compromise. Make your own sunglasses as a complementary addition to your clothing brand, or simply design a pair of shades to add a touch of 'wow' factor to your outfits.
Please note, because of our hand-pressing printing process, darker colours might be slightly stretched, giving them a slightly desaturated appearance on edges and corners. As we press every pair of sunglasses by hand, the alignment might vary +/- 1-3mm. We therefore always suggest using a repeat pattern, where alignment does not matter so much. Avoid text. This will ensure your sunglasses look stylish, unique and individual just for you.
Personalised Sunglasses UK Quality Guaranteed
Our specialist digital printing process binds the ink to the shatterproof plastic, creating a long-lasting, fade-resistant print; ideal for everyday use in the sun. Hand assembled by a team of skilled technicians here in London, UK, your made-to-order custom sunglasses are truly unique. Use illustrations, original artworks, graphic designs or drawings to turn what's an often neutral accessory into a talking point. There's no minimum order, ideal if you want a pair of bespoke shades for personal use, or need a range for your fashion brand. 2-year guarantee.
Style it With
Design a colour coordinated case to complement your personalised sunglasses, so you always look good even when on the go. Paired with a chic hat and summer ready clothes, a pair of customised shades is the finishing touch to any outfit. Not just for holidays though, printed sunglasses look great all year round, whatever the season. Create a tropical design to perfectly suit days at the beach, or print a geometric, retro design to add another dimension to your everyday style. Make your own sunglasses and brighten up your vibe even on the dullest of days.
Care instruction
Surface wipe only. Clean gently by hand with mild soapy damp cloth.

I bought 2 rugs, leather handbag sunglasses and case. Amazed by the quick, efficient and professional service. The quality is outstanding. I had never used it before and was really apprehensive....i would highly recommend them.

I was delighted with the black and patent leather vinyl handbag, the bone china mugs and the sunglasses were outstanding.
I was, however, extremely disappointed with the Italian nappa leather zip top handbag. Inside beautiful but the finish outside looks like PVC.

Delighted with my sunglasses. Light and easy to wear. Much admired by others. Very fast delivery. Only thing I miss is a box to keep them in when it's not sunny. CONTRADO : we can do matching case too!

Frequently asked questions:
What Size are My Personalised Sunglasses?
Our custom made sunglasses come in one size: Width 14.5cm x Length 15cm x Height 5cm. The classic shape makes them perfect for both men and women, complementing any face shape or hair style.
Where on the Sunglasses is my Design Printed?
All over! You get to design the front, back, right arm outside and inside, left arm outside and inside, and each area can be personalised with a different design. Your custom sunglasses are printed entirely with your designs, so have fun creating a pair to suit your style.
What Designs Work Best?
The printable area is quite small, so we'd suggest a repeat pattern or graphical design, without text. The arms have more width, so repeat patterns and designs really stand out here. Check the preview to make sure your design is correctly positioned and please allow for a little wiggle room (2-3mm)

Print Guideline
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
-
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
-
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
-
Maximum dimensions
For most of our fabrics, there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10m max to visualise the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20m or x4 for 40m for example) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built-in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
-
Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?
Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 5mm white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
-
Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them.
-
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail, jpeg is fine.
-
Why is there a barcode inside my clothing?
Due to our internal processes here at Contrado, there will be a barcode printed on your garment. This is inside the clothing and will not affect your design. It is usually found towards the bottom.
-
What is the situation with material shrinkage?
Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary. As everything we produce is handmade to order, there may be a slight variance in the measurements.
-
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as many fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
-
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them as you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into labels.
-
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are printed using water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.
