It’s August But These Meller Sunglasses Might Be the Best Affordable Sunglasses For Gifting Season
I know. It’s very early to be talking about holiday gifting. You’re probably still finding sand in your tote bag from July, and I’m out here whispering, “stocking filler?” in 27-degree heat. But after receiving Meller’s new holiday campaign release, I found myself reaching for my calendar, and my wallet.
Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of last-minute panic shopping, it’s this: the best gifts are the ones that hit the sweet spot between affordable, stylish, and actually useful. Enter: MELLER, The Best Affordable Sunglasses
Meller Sunglasses Review: Why They’re The Best Affordable Sunglasses
Barcelona-based and TikTok-approved, MELLER has built a cult following for good reason. The brand’s latest range includes fashion-forward shapes like the OSEI TIGRIS BROWN and BINTI MAROON BROWN, alongside versatile basics like KESSIE ALL BLACK – all under £60.
It’s easy to see why they’re a gift guide no-brainer. Polarised lenses, UV400 protection, anti-scratch coatings, and even Superhydrophobic technology (translation: less smudging from fingerprints and drizzle). These aren’t your basic beach market knock-offs—they’re quality frames that look designer without the stress of losing them at a festival or in your Uber’s cupholder.
We’ve already covered Meller’s Spring drop and their Lazy Oaf collab, both of which sold out fast. So if history’s anything to go by, these bestsellers will likely fly again before December even hits.
Fashionable and (Genuinely) Sustainable
Let’s be honest, no one wants to gift landfill. MELLER’s frames are made from bio-based materials, with 45% of each pair coming from naturally-derived sources. Compared to petroleum-based plastics, this means lower CO2 emissions and around 30% less energy used in production.
It’s not just lip service either. Since opening their first store in Barcelona this year, the brand’s doubled down on sustainable design and packaging. You’ll still get the glossy, lifestyle-focused unboxing experience but without the environmental guilt.
FAULT’s Favourite Picks
Here’s a quick rundown of our top choices from the new line:
- CUMBI STONE OLIVE – A quiet luxury option that works across genders.
- KARAM GOLD OLIVE – Vintage-leaning without going full costume.
- NAYAH NATHY MAROON KAKAO – For your friend who’s always in their “cherry cola aesthetic” era.
- SHIPO BLACK ORANGE – For the early adopter who lives in Depop DMs.
Whether you’re gifting a sibling who loses everything (guilty), a partner with suspiciously expensive taste, or treating yourself under the guise of “just getting ahead,” MELLER’s latest drop ticks every box. Stylish? Yes. Practical? Definitely. Budget-friendly? At under £60, it might just be your FAULTLess gifting win.
Final Thought: Too Soon? Maybe. But Worth It? Absolutely.
Sure, it’s early. But think of this as pre-panic prep. By the time everyone else is bulk-buying whatever has replaced Labubu by December and searching for clean wrapping paper, you’ll have the smug satisfaction of knowing your gift’s already sorted and that it didn’t cost the earth, literally or figuratively.
So yes, it’s August. But consider this your first official nudge to make gifting a little easier (and a lot more stylish) this year.
