Shades
at 6 am

Nobody packs sunglasses for a night out, and no shop is open when the room lets out. Our machines stand by the exit and hand over a sealed pair when you tap — no app, no member card, no queue at the bar.

The walk home
is a lighting problem

Nobody plans for sunglasses before a night out. You sat on the last pair in August, the corner shop is shuttered, and the room lets out into full daylight. It is the most boring retail gap in nightlife — and it happens every single weekend.

We put a machine where the crowd already is, on the line to the door. It holds hundreds of pairs, keeps them sealed, and sells one the second someone wants it.

How it works

Tap. Shades. Daylight.

01

Tap

Card, phone or QR at the front panel. No app, no sign-up, no wallet top-up at the door.

02

Pick

One frame drops into the lit niche — sealed in its own sleeve, never tried on by the room before you.

03

Back to the floor

Sunglasses on in under ten seconds, and the bar line stays where it belongs.

The frames

Sealed.
Not tried on by the room.

Every pair leaves the machine in its own sleeve: nothing handled, nothing scratched, nothing borrowed. The styles are the ones people actually reach for at 6 am — matte black wraparounds, thin metal frames, tinted rectangles — in one unisex fit.

  • UV400 lenses, filter category 2–3, CE marked
  • Sealed in the unit, never handled before you
  • Frames and tints re-mixed per venue from live sales

For venues

A dead corner that pays for itself

01

Zero capital

We deliver, install, wire and insure the machine. The venue pays nothing up front.

02

One square metre

A dead corner by the cloakroom or the terrace is enough. No building work, no new till.

03

We restock

Telemetry shows which frame is moving. Refills happen before the best seller runs out, not after.

04

Revenue share

The venue keeps a share of every pair sold, reported monthly per machine.
