Custom 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, UK printed, 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.
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. Due to the potential overlap of images, we would recommend using the same design for both the front and back of the arms.
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.

Fantastic personalised gifts
I designed a pattern myself using an object that is relevant to the person I wanted to make a gift for.
The only thing I would have to criticise is; the positioning of your pattern is quite tricky if you have to get two things the same (both outside sides of my glasses for instance). In my case they looked fairly even on screen and did not turn out that way. However, and this is important: the website states that very clearly and I was prepared to take the risk. The positioning of my pattern on the case for the glasses was spot on.
The colour and resolution is fantastic! The software was very user friendly and I was surprised by the amount of manipulation options.
Overall, I am really thrilled with the outcome and I think the price is fair. Thank you very much Cortado.

Review of Experience
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.
Anita W 01/05/2019
Great service and good products on the whole
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.

Fun sun glasses
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!
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 hairstyle. They weigh approximately 40g.
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 separately. We would advise using the same design for the front and back though to avoid any overlap. 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)

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)
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
What is crocking and why might it occur?
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Why do my colours appear lighter on organic fabrics?
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Can you perfectly join two separately printed panels?
We always try to provide the utmost precision in printing and manufacturing. However, due to unavoidable stretching or movement of the fabric at the time of sewing, we can not guarantee a perfect alignment of the pattern on the seams of the garment. Generally we are accurate to 2-3mm, which is sufficient for most reasons but can pose minor problems with patterns or geometric designs.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Is it possible to print your own label?
Most of our clothing is made with a label space. You can print your label and add information about your brand. If you want to sew your own labels, we offer customizable labels of different sizes.
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our 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 like you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment no, 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. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing 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 fulfillment.
Why are there slight colour differences between my orders?
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
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.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
