With proper care, Memorí heirloom-quality eyewear will bring you years of use and memories. Extend your frames' longevity by following these instructions:

Prior to each use: Wipe clean with the included microfiber cloth.

Every 10 wears: Apply a few drops of mild soap to your fingers, lather them underwater and massage soap foam to your lenses and frame. Rinse frame and lenses in warm water. Dry with your microfiber cloth. Leave out in well ventilated area for any remaining moisture to evaporate.

After salt water or beach exposure: Wash with soap using instructions above to prevent salt damage.

DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCHOL OR HARSH CHEMICALS TO CLEAN. These substances will damage the finish of the acetate and potentially ruin the color.

Do not leave in temperatures above 125 degrees Fahrenheit, or the acetate on temple tips may warp (ex: car dashboard, ledge of bonfire).

FAQ

CAN I ORDER PRESCRIPTION LENSES?

All Memorí frames are prescription-ready. Lenses can be swapped out by any Optician.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MEMORÍ WILL FIT ME?

Please see our SIZE GUIDE.

If you have a narrow face, Memorí frames will be the perfect fit.

If you have a regular width face, Memorí will fit, but will be on the small side.

If you have a wide face, Memorí frames will be too small.

WHEN WILL WIDE WIDTH SIZES BE AVAILABLE?

We understand that one size does not fit all. That's precisely why we dedicated Memorí to providing the perfect fit for smaller faces, a size which is underrepresented by mainstream brands.

As Memorí has evolved, we have started to introduce multiple sizes in select styles.

DO SUNGLASSES COME WITH A WARRANTY?

5-Year Manufacturer's Warranty:

All Memorí eyewear frames come with a 5-year warranty of any manufacturer's defects. Warranty begins date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage from normal wear and tear, improper use, or other negligence

$100 "I Made Memories" Warranty:

If your Memorí frames are broken or damaged at any time for any reason, simply send back your damaged frames and we will send you a new pair for only $100. We get it - sometimes when you are living in the moment, you forget your sunglasses were on your head when looked over that 40-story balcony. We want you to have those Memoríes.

Note: Most of our frames are small batch, meaning we probably won’t have the same exact model you sent in, but will replace with something similar if we don’t have the original.
