Dupe - Crumpler x Radio Eyewear (Optical)

A fine Saturday afternoon in Melbourne, circa 1995, 3 bike couriers decided that the Simple & Tenacious Messenger bags they were making for themselves should be available for everyone. That moment birthed Crumpler, rooted in Simplicity, bike practicality, sturdy construction, beers and fun for all.

We sat down with the Crumpler team in their studio space in Melbourne’s CBD to begin crafting the foundation and ideas behind this collaboration.

The result is a uniquely versatile pair of glasses, handcrafted from Radios’ plant-based acetate. Available in four colours, this unisex design features Radios’ new Sound Reflection temple core, our iconic checks on the front, and a silver-plated Crumpler x Radio badge on the inside. Sunglasses designed to be unisex.
