An ode to sunnies- the staple item that we all need; shielding eyes from the intense glare of an abrasive world, covering our faces when they’re not at the best, and entertaining a private eye-spying sanctuary, enabling one to surreptitiously observe those whom one doesn’t want to be noticed observing.

But - what happens when your sunnies look just like everyone else’s, damnit?

Well, Michelle Hendriks’ Sydney-based website shadykids.com provides solution to this age-old dilemma.

For the past 4 years Hendriks has collected all manner of sunglasses, ranging from 1980s polaroids, to European designer classics, to over-sized boho shades, from around the globe. Hendriks sells individual one-off pairs on shadykids.com for as little as AU$10. And because the available on-line collection is always changing shoppers can peruse until finding that unique pair, perfectly you!
