Costa is truly committed to helping our environment and it goes beyond its impressive Kick Plastic movement that was launched in 2015 to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that ends up in our waterways each year. Being responsible and respectful to the marine environment is just part of Costa’s DNA. So how could we not promote its Untangled collection of sunglasses when we first heard about it at the Miami Boat Show back in February?

Made of 97 to 100 percent recycled fishing nets, Costa’s Untangled collection of sustainable frames includes Core Performance and Beach Lifestyle options that are as good for fishing as they are for the ocean. We placed our order for the Santiago Untangled black frames with blue mirror polarized glass to see for ourselves what all the excitement was about.

Being made from recycled fishing nets is quite the conversation starter and as a writer I can always appreciate a good story. But this collection of sunglasses goes well beyond a cool story, they are extremely stylish, comfortable and carry on the rich tradition of quality products from Costa.

Reasonably priced at $179 I like that I’m supporting Costa’s environmental efforts as well as showcasing a great pair of sunglasses that come standard with a unique story.
