In a world where sunglasses can be found anywhere, it's important to understand the difference between frames mass-manufactured by industry giants and those created by independent craftsmen. KREWE represents the latter, a refreshing alternative to mass-produced eyewear. Krewe prioritizes quality, creativity, and genuine customer care over corporate profits.
Breaking Free from the Manufacturing Giant
The eyewear industry has been dominated by EssilorLuxottica, which manufactures frames for countless brands, from Ray-Ban to Prada, Chanel to Oakley.
KREWE takes a fundamentally different approach. As an independent company, they control every aspect of their manufacturing process, from design concepts to final inspection. This benefits the customer by ensuring a high-quality final product. KREWE's independence isn't just about business, it's about creative freedom and the ability to prioritize what truly matters their customer base.
Small Batch, Big Difference
Â
KREWE believes good things come in small batches, which is why their collections usually sell out. Smaller product runs cut back on waste and lead to faster production times, making for more satisfied buyers and a happier planet.
Â
Small batch production allows KREWE to ensure superior quality through in-house quality control checks with a 100-point inspection system that examines and polishes each pair of frames by hand. This level of attention isn't possible in large-scale manufacturing operations.
Â
By producing smaller quantities and focusing on designs that will usually sell out, KREWE minimizes waste and reduces their environmental footprint. The packaging is fully biodegradable and recyclable as well.
The Art of Intentional Craftsmanship
KREWE doesn't settle for less than the finest materials when crafting their frames. Their selection processes are always uncompromising, and every component is inspected for perfection.
Every pair features shatter-resistant lenses providing 100 percent UVA and UVB protection, with anti-scratch and smudge coating. These aren't afterthoughts; they're intentional and key to KREWE's commitment to functional excellence.
Customer Care That Actually Cares
As a smaller, independent New Orleans-based eyewear brand, KREWE aims for a more intimate relationship with customers than the giant manufacturers or mass-produced brands.
The Growing Movement Toward Transparency
Transparency is becoming more critical every day. Consumers are making choices around brand authenticity and sustainable practices.
Today's consumers want to know:
-
Where products are made
-
Who benefits from their purchase
-
How their choices impact the environment
-
Whether the companies they support align with their values
KREWE answers these questions offering complete visibility into their process, their values, and their commitment to quality.
Supporting Independent Innovation
When you choose KREWE over mass-produced alternatives, you're supporting creative freedom that allows independent brands to take risks and pursue unique designs that larger corporations might find too niche. KREWE's success directly benefits New Orleans artisans, suppliers, and the broader community while implementing environmentally responsible practices more quickly and thoroughly than massive corporations. Independent manufacturers can maintain the artisanal standards that create exceptional products
.
The KREWE Promise
Choosing independent doesn't mean compromising on service or reliability. KREWE backs their commitment to quality with their Second Chances program and warranty coverage, proving that small companies can provide stellar customer service.
With KREWE, you're not just buying sunglasses; you're investing in a brand that values quality, creativity, and community over profit margins and market dominance.
Because in a world of mass production, choosing independence is choosing authenticity.
