About Us

We are a Portuguese project founded in 2017 with the aim of promoting bamboo as a sustainable, fair and affordable alternative to plastic in the eyewear industry.

In an industry dominated by large plastic corporations and multinationals, ORIGEM has proven that it is possible to create a high quality, ethically produced optical product without harming the planet.

Plastic is yesterday, go bamboo 🌿
