Behind the scenes at 2NDLIFE – Birth of a committed brand

2NDLIFE was born from a simple desire: to create high-performance, durable eyewear capable of following our adventures, from ocean to mountain. It was in these playgrounds that the idea took shape.

From the very beginning, we sought to combine technical excellence, refined aesthetics, and environmental commitment. We scoured France to identify the best partners: high-quality glass, recycled materials, and local expertise. It was at the foot of the Alps that things began to take shape: prototypes, initial tests, and the discovery of ECONYL®, a nylon regenerated from fishing nets.

Every decision was made with precision, sometimes with complexity: finding recyclable alternatives, ensuring production between France and Italy, maintaining true transparency throughout the chain. Nothing was left to chance, and the journey was far from easy.

The Summer 2025 collection lays the foundations for an authentic and sincere project: high-end French polarized lenses, recycled or recyclable frames, and a simple and timeless design. True product quality, designed to last.

2NDLIFE is our vision of another way of creating, consuming, and looking at the world.
