Beirut Shades is a sunglasses brand started in Hazmieh by siblings Ali and Fatima Mohsen. They launched it because the options they found locally were either too expensive or badly made, and they wanted shades that look good, give reliable UV protection and stay within reach for people living under the Lebanese sun. The styles are designed with everyday local life in mind, from the beach to sitting in city traffic. The range is wide: dozens of women's frames such as Tortoise Luxe, Cat Eye Elegance and Retro Round, men's models like Retro Aviator and Midnight Drive, and a kids' line with playful colours. The brand describes itself as homegrown but does not say where its frames are manufactured. It sells through the Wakilni Marketplace and its Instagram page.
