Natural Inspirations

Tura introduces the Botaniq collection, launched to help wearers look good and feel good—fusing Tura’s style-centric design appeal with sustainable materials and eco-friendly brand initiatives.

“It was so important to maintain Tura’s design-first ethos, so we selected materials such as Natura to create custom acetate colors and complex engineered lamination patterns,” says Jennifer Coppel, Tura’s VP of brand management. “We did our best to combine Tura’s ‘more is more’ design philosophy with a ‘less is more’ carbon footprint.”

Botaniq also utilizes recyclable demo lenses and packaging, and with each purchase, one tree will be planted in partnership with the One Tree Planted organization.

Here, the Botaniq BIO1010T pairs Natura biodegradable acetate and natural wood.
