Why did we create these sunglasses?
Because petite women deserve better than frames that never quite fit. Most sunglasses are too wide, oversized (in a bad way), or simply designed with someone else in mind. At ello, we start with your features — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation.
What inspired us to do things differently?
It 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?
For anyone with a smaller face who’s 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?
Proportioned with intention — made to flatter petite features
Lightweight and balanced — comfort from every angle
Six distinct styles — not just “whatever fits”
10-day try-on period — try them at home, no pressure
Fast, free shipping — most U.S. orders ship the same day
That’s one of the perks of being independently owned — we make our own rules, and we make them for you.
When will they ship?
Most U.S. orders placed before 1 PM ET ship the same day. You’ll get tracking as soon as they’re en route — and ten full days to try them on at home, your way.
