Meet OLIVIO & CO: Children’s Eyewear Inspired by Mediterranean Summers

We knew there was something different about OLIVIO & CO the first time we saw it.

The brand began with a family summer in the Mediterranean. Sunlight, olive-lined roads, colorful towns, and an easy outdoor way of life found their way into the collection. Even the color names—Olive Green, Sand Beige, Sun Coral, and Reef Blue—feel like small pieces of a summer by the sea.

Made with Children in Mind

OLIVIO & CO does not simply shrink an adult frame. The sunglasses are lightweight, flexible, and shaped for young faces, with 100% UV protection for time spent outdoors.

One of our favorite details is the wavy temple, inspired by the shape of an ocean wave. At the end is a small soft ring where children can attach their own accessories. It makes the frames instantly recognizable and gives each child a simple way to make their pair feel personal.

The classic round and oval shapes are easy to wear every day. The sport collection has a more active silhouette for biking, hiking, travel, and long days outside. Each one feels playful without looking overly childish.

Packaging Worth Keeping

The packaging is one of the things that first drew us to OLIVIO & CO. Each box is made from 100% biodegradable sugarcane pulp, with the rounded shape of the sunglasses molded into the lid. Its natural color and texture feel completely different from an ordinary disposable glasses box.

The white surface is intentionally simple, so children can draw on it, add stickers, and turn it into their own little storage box. Inside, the colorful cleaning cloth is made from 100% recycled plastic.

This thoughtful packaging received the 2020 Red Dot Award for Packaging Design. It was later recognized by the iF Design Awards, D&AD, and the ADC Annual Awards. OLIVIO & CO’s children’s eyewear has also received international recognition, including an iF Design Award and the Green Product Award.

The awards are lovely, of course, but what we appreciate most is that the sustainability is visible in the actual product. It is not simply a sentence printed on the box.

A Gift Children Will Actually Use

We have always felt that a gift for a child does not have to be a toy.

OLIVIO & CO sunglasses feel special when they are opened, but they are also useful long after the wrapping is gone. The sunglasses, portable case, playful accessories, and a box children can decorate make the whole experience feel considered.

They make a lovely gift for a birthday, a summer vacation, a family trip, or a child’s first outdoor adventure. Parents appreciate the eye protection and practicality; children notice the colors, the shape, and all the little details chosen especially for them.

Why We Chose OLIVIO & CO for FUDAF

At FUDAF, we look for children’s pieces that offer more than a beautiful first impression. We want them to have a clear point of view and still make sense in everyday family life.

OLIVIO & CO feels special without being difficult to use. The design is distinctive, the fit is comfortable, and the packaging has been considered just as carefully as the sunglasses inside. It is the kind of piece a child can naturally reach for every morning—and that is exactly why we wanted to bring it to FUDAF.
