Here at GRAZIA, we want to help you get your next pair of must-have modern sunglasses. That is why we are telling you all about the latest and greatest eyewear collections from AKILA.

AKILA is a modern concept and independent eyewear brand based in Los Angeles, focused on making handmade unisex sunglasses at anti-industry pricing. Their creative designs and sustainable focus makes them unique from their competitors. They create glasses that are made to last and handcrafted from eco-friendly, plant-based cellulose acetate.

Today, their newest collections are highly-sought after collaborations inspired by iconic artwork from classic household names — American rock band Grateful Dead and the late artist Patrick Nagel.

AKILA x Grateful Dead is here just in time for the return of live music. AKILA linked with Grateful Dead to release the rock band’s first-ever collection of sunglasses, which includes two sets of styles — the APOLLO and the BEGONIA — inspired by the band’s iconic style and imagery.

The AKILA x Patrick Nagel collection has a “New Wave” design, inspired by the pop art of late artist and illustrator Patrick Nagel, who is known for putting Los Angeles on the art world’s map during the 1970s and ‘80s. These sunglasses have a one-piece wraparound frame that is complete with polarized lenses. This collection adds function to avant-garde!
