How is this possible?

Updated: Mar 24, 2022

When conceptualising ROAV Galaxy, in the early design stages we often asked ourselves…


“Can we re-invent and improve folding eyewear?”

Other folding eyewear products in the market are not always pocketable, and improving this function makes a real difference in where people can carry ROAV around with them.


Green and gold sunglasses

Reducing the folded width from the 30mm of our nearest Ray-Ban competitor, to a thin 8mm with ROAV has really got us noticed. Weighing in at less than 20grams, the lightness of the frame is attributed to a thinly cut, extremely flexible stainless steel frame.

Customers are now able to fit their optical eyewear and sunglasses in the tightest of back pockets, small purses and handbags. No more carrying around bulky eyewear cases or having to wear your sunglasses on the top of your head when the sun goes in!

We have countered the misconception that lightness and thinness means weakness, with the use of super-strength stainless steel and an ion scratch-proof coating for our frames.



Patent screwless hinges are press-formed into the sheet metal frame creating an ultra-minimal construction design that is incredibly small and durable. The hinges also have an inherent springiness, so they won't come loose over time. When it comes to opening, all parts are connected so well that it opens almost automatically.



We understand that fit can be an issue when it comes to purchasing eyewear, especially for customers that have a lower nose bridge, therefore we have designed comfortable nose pads which have flexible adjustments to fit everyone.

We want our customers to feel confident that they can bring their ROAV optical eyewear and sunglasses everywhere with them, so created a colourful rubber pouch that provides very effective protection, even when sat on!

We are so confident in the end product that all ROAV collections now come with a 2 year warranty. It is no wonder that ROAV is now sold in 35+ countries worldwide.



With 100's of styles, shapes and colours across 6 sunglasses collections and a wide range of optical frames, your customers will certainly find a pair they fall in love with.
