Our Story

Family-Owned
Since 2011

Two brothers, a love of skateboarding, and a simple idea: quality eyewear without the crazy price tag.

Vince & Mikemo Capaldi Southern California Family-Owned & Operated
How it started

It began on a skateboard

It all started back in 2011 in Southern California, when Vince and professional skateboarder Mikemo Capaldi — two brothers — dreamed up "Glassy Sunhaters" while out skating one day. They started in their own home, selling a small selection of stylish sunglasses online.

Today we're still a family-owned and operated business — which means we've held onto that personal touch that sets us apart. Even as we've grown, our commitment to high-quality eyewear without the high prices is as strong as ever.

How we grew

From Sunhaters to Glassy Eyewear

In 2018 we added new options to the family — Blue Light Gaming Glasses and prescription eyewear, including everyday eyeglasses, gamer glasses, and prescription sunglasses. All that growth led us to a new name, Glassy Eyewear, that better represents our range and our dedication to helping you look great.

We love streetwear, gaming, and extreme sports — and we're always exploring new directions while staying authentic to ourselves. We're all about adventure and innovation, so keep an eye out for where we're headed. 🕶️

Thank you
