Why did we create these sunglasses?
Sunglasses for petite faces are made because standard frames are typically made for wider facial proportions, leaving smaller faces with poor fit and limited options. At ello, we design frames specifically for petite faces, smaller heads, and narrow features. We start with your features — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation.
What inspired us to do things differently?
The idea of ello sunglasses started with a forgotten pair of sunglasses on our wedding day—a five-day trek through Grand Teton National Park. After hours of searching local shops, everything Julie tried was too big, too flimsy, or simply not made for her. That moment—sun-squinty and a little frustrated—sparked an idea: why isn’t anyone making high-quality sunglasses for smaller faces?
Back in Florida, we turned that mishap into a mission. From dog walks to park days, our lifestyle inspired every design—and ello was born to make petite-fit sunglasses that feel as good as they look.
Who are these sunglasses for?
Sunglasses for petite faces are made for anyone with a small face, narrow face or smaller head size who is tired of compromising. If frames constantly slip, sit too wide, or feel like dress-up instead of everyday wear, ello is for you. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all — especially not when it comes to what frames your face.
What makes ello different?
ello sunglasses are designed differently because every frame is proportioned specifically for petite faces, smaller heads, and narrow facial features.
