Quay Australia

Quay Australia is a contemporary eyewear brand founded in Melbourne in 2004. Initially inspired by the vibrant and eclectic music festival scene, the brand was created by Linda and Allen Hammond to offer affordable, stylish sunglasses that reflect a carefree and expressive spirit. Known for bold designs, Quay has become synonymous with trend-forward sunglasses that push the boundaries of fashion while remaining accessible. The brand's motto, "life is too short to fit in," is embodied in its unique range of eyewear, from classic aviators to statement-making cat-eye frames. Celebrity endorsements from fashion-forward icons like Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani, and Cara Delevingne have helped propel Quay to global recognition. Special collections include collaborations with world-class stars including Desi Perkins, Kylie Jenner, Chrissy Teigen, and Jennifer Lopez. These partnerships have produced some of the most sought-after styles in accessible eyewear. The brand's commitment to quality ensures their glasses are as much about functionality as they are about fashion. Polarised lenses and UV protection are standard features across the range. Today, Quay sunglasses can be found in over 2,000 retailers worldwide, from Australia to the UK, where the brand continues to thrive on its ethos of individuality and self-expression.
