Stylish and high-performance sunglasses.
Founded in 1980 by a fisherman named "Maui Jim" Richards who wanted to protect himself against the harsh Hawaiian sun.
Style and utmost protection.
The brand offers a wide range of styles, from classic aviators to trendy round frames, all featuring polarised lenses.
Maui Jim sunglasses are highly-rated and although they won't change the world - they'll change the way you see it.
Making your life brighter.
Maui Jim provides more vibrant colours of the world while protecting your eyes.
Maui Jim believes colour and light are the key to human experience. Their sunglasses show you its full spectrum, so you can see the world like you’ve never seen before.
Independent until 2022.
Maui Jim was taken over by Kering Eyewear in March 2022 but their original office is located in Lahaina, Maui, where they still design and test all of their sunglasses.
