Founded in 2004 by Linda and Allen Hammond, Quay (pronounced “key”) started as a Melbourne-based brand designed to create affordable, bold eyewear that doesn’t compromise on style and quality. With a mission to inspire confidence and individuality through fashion, Quay’s collections are perfect for those who want to stand out.

The brand’s accessible price point—usually ranging from $60 to $200—means you don’t have to break the bank to get that model-off-duty look. Whether you’re aiming for a laid-back vibe or a runway-ready ensemble, Quay’s diverse selection offers something for everyone. A-list celebs like Sabrina Carpenter, Victoria Justice and SZA, as well as SI Swimsuit models like Alix Earle, Hunter McGrady and Emily Ratajkowski, are fans of the brand.

“I’ve come across Quay a number of times over the years through friends, so when the opportunity to partner came up, it felt right. I love that they offer something so special that’s accessible to everyone—the product is beautiful, and the price point is inclusive,” SI Swimsuit legend Chrissy Teigen said in 2019 when she collaborated with the brand on a collection.

Quay uses durable materials like scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses and sturdy metal or cellulose acetate frames, and each of piece makes for the perfect finishing touch to any outfit—from the beach to the streets to the club. With a mission to inspire confidence and individuality through fashion, Quay’s collections are perfect for those who want to stand out. Below are six of our favorite styles.
