History

Founded in Melbourne, Australia by Linda and Allen Hammond in 2004. The brand was born roadside on the festival circuit where the music loving duo set out to sell their range of fun, fashionable yet affordable frames. Word soon spread about the sunnies and the Quay brand grew, launching internationally in 2009. Today Quay is stocked in Retails all around the world but you will still find the team riding their bikes around Quay’s North Melbourne HQ or off to festivals where they began.

Philosophy

Quay is inspired by the endless Aussie summer, the street style of our home in Melbourne and our travels abroad. We are for people who make their own style, have a relaxed attitude to fashion but aren’t afraid to stand out. We’re that weird kid in high school who makes their own style and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Quay Eyeware is fun, affordable and available in a carnival of colors. The hardest step is choosing your first pair.
