VAKAY, 100% Tunisian
wood framed
sunglasses !
Tunisia is loaded with talent and the brand VAKAY is the perfect
example. Created in November 2012 by Adam Jabeur and Soulaiman
Ghorbel, VAKAY is a hit with sunglasses lovers and is exported
beyond Tunisian borders.
T
he wood framed glasses make
VAKAY unique, but also the fact
that it is totally made by hand and 100%
Tunisian. If the brand, whose name means
“And the tree“ in Vietnamese, relies on the
well-known and approved concept of using
wood, it is the first to offer and manufacture
this kind of glasses in Tunisia and more
widely in the Arab world.
Unlike major industrial brands, VAKAY
offers a new experience that combines
comfort and aesthetics, inspired by its
Mediterranean roots. Each collection has
its own character, which comes from a
unique combination of shapes, curves,
colours but also materials. African woods
such as wenge, walnut, bubinga, padouk
and oak are selected for their noble look,
their strength and their low ecological impact, then are worked by hand and rendered sublime by an elegant design. Count
approximately 70 hours to manufacture
one pair of sunglasses !
In parallel with the permanent collections,
VAKAY sometimes presents special editions that tell, each in their own way, parts
of Tunisia’s history. Therefore, on the occasion of the Save Mos Espa initiative to save
the site that houses one of the Star Wars
sets, the brand launched the VAKAY Save
Mos Espa sunglasses, a special edition
whose aesthetics was mainly inspired by
mosaics and mouldings typical of southern
Tunisia. I
