    Lightweight, Polarized Glasses That Don't Exacerbate Skin Allergies

    I have developed annoying skin allergies over the years -- particularly an allergy to metal alloys. Last year, I was forced to part with my beloved Maui Jims because the metal was giving my ears a rash. How delighted I was to find polarized sunglasses constructed with hypoallergenic titanium! Thank you, William Painter. I can wear sunglasses again, and they cut the glare of the water nicely when I am boating or at the beach. Pretty sure that these have become my new beloved sunglasses. Plus, I like the Almost Famous vibe that you get when you wear The Epoch. Posting a photo with my husband, who is wearing The Hook.

    My favorite part about these sunnies is how light they are to wear! The most comfortable pair of sunglasses that I own! The fit is spot on!

    Great products, great style

    I absolutely love my new William Painter sunglasses!

    The Epoch Gold/Black Titanium Frame has an amazing classic John Lennon-inspired style — timeless, lightweight, comfortable, and really unique. The quality feels premium immediately when you hold them in your hands.

    I also want to mention the excellent customer service. My original shipment accidentally arrived without the sunglasses inside the case. After contacting support, the team responded quickly, professionally, and sent a replacement immediately without any hassle.

    Mistakes can happen with any company — what really matters is how they handle them. William Painter handled the situation perfectly, and that honestly increased my trust in the brand even more.

    Great products, great style, and truly outstanding customer support.

    Highly recommended!

    William painter sunglasses

    The Epoch is my second style from William Painter. I have purchased the Empire and put my subscription in them. Love them. Purchased sunglasses for my daughter her husband and a friend. We all love them. I smashed a pair under the hot tub cover and paid the 50$ warranty and am loving the company. In this day and age, William Painter stands out. Way out. Thank you!
