Optex Reveals Limited Edition Spring 2021 Colours for Eyewear

Updated: Aug 26, 2021

Spring 2021 eyewear fashion statement


Our trends point towards designs that are bolder, edgy or confidently oversized. Retro aviators and cat-eye frames will still stay and are given the contemporary make-over with either translucent metallics or multi-coloured frames.


  • Flaming red oversized eyewear
  • Retro classic eyewear
  • Bold oversized eyewear


We asked Optex about their Spring 2021 eyewear colours.


Optex eyewear is lovingly handcrafted in Australia, and always with a quality professional touch. Their Spring colours radiate excitement and adventure under our homeland Australia’s exhilarating blue skies, oceans, open spaces and generous sunshine.


This year Optex Australia works with renowned manufacturers to bring private labels a stunning range of uniquely handcrafted bio-acetates.


"We have developed an exciting range of pearl colours in partnership with our international artisans. These colours are being released as a limited edition range that includes Marble Rain, Nordic Champagne, Sandy Rise, Pacific Earth and Vera Rose.", says Greg French at Optex Australia.

Striking Silvers


Optex's 2021 bio-acetate colours have a striking silvers range with a space-age feel.


Marble Rain has exciting specks of gold with a creamy earth tone. Finished with a hypnotic marble effect, it makes one's gaze linger ...

Beaches and Oceans of Australia


Optex wants its 2021 acetate colours to reflect the sandy beaches and vast blue oceans of Australia. Wear the feel of Sandy Rise and Pacific Earth.


Sandy Rise will remind you of the warm, beautiful beaches of Port Macquarie where our factory is. The different tones of the sand are rich and give the design quite a body.

Another special highlight to round off the range is their intoxicating Vera Rose. Vera Rose like the others is made of high-quality, handcrafted bio- acetates. If you need that extra punch, add Vera Rose to your bold collection.

What are Bio-Acetates?


Optex has sustainability practices that are valuable to our physical environment. Their eyewear frames are made with bio-acetates also know as cellulose acetates, which are plant-based materials.


Acetate is made up of a (bio) polymer derived from wood (tree) pulp and/or natural cotton fibers. For fashionable spectacles, Optex prefers bio-acetates because the material:

  • does not harm the environment

  • is made from renewable materials

  • is hypoallergenic

  • come in all colours of the rainbow

  • can be made beautifully transparent

  • are high-grade, highly unique versions that are fit adjustable by opticians

  • are known for their lightweight thin constructions and strength

  • remain flexible with glass-like clarity.

  • boast the widest range of finishes—from high luster polish, matte, or brushed.

If you're a private label planning to launch your own branded sunglasses or eyewear, reach out to Optex early in the game because:

  • Producing a frame is actually a long, intricate assembly process of over 60 steps that require precision, professionalism and patience at every point;

  • Optex’s custom made bio-acetate range is a premium material that has been carefully chosen for its hardness and quality. Formed and layered from traditional block processes, the material is of exceptional quality. Worked through our finishing processes, the material offers, stunning finishes, enhanced effects and brilliant colour finishes.

  • Production deadline for interested labels is 31st May 2021
