Eyewear people, building for brands
Founded in 2009 in Wenzhou — China's eyewear manufacturing capital — LumiShades has grown from a small acetate workshop into a vertically-integrated factory shipping 5M+ pairs a year to 60+ countries.
Born in China's eyewear capital
Wenzhou produces a large share of the world's sunglasses, and LumiShades was founded here in 2009 by a team of frame and lens specialists who were tired of watching quality slip through layers of trading agents. We started with a single acetate cutting line and a simple promise: own the whole process so we can stand behind the result.
Fifteen years later, that promise still drives us. We design, mold, cut, tint, assemble, polish and inspect every pair under one roof — and we deal directly with the brands we serve, in plain English, with transparent pricing and a 12-hour reply commitment.

Fifteen years, one direction
How LumiShades grew from a single cutting line to a full-stack eyewear manufacturer.
Founded in Wenzhou
LumiShades Optical opens with a single acetate cutting line and a small assembly team, serving local eyewear brands.
In-house lens department
We bring lens cutting, tinting and coating in-house to control optical quality end to end — no more outsourced lenses.
Injection molding & TR90
Added injection molding lines for TR90 and polycarbonate frames, opening the door to sport and high-volume programs.
CE, FDA & ANSI compliance
Formalized our compliance program with CE EN ISO 12312-1, FDA registration and ANSI Z80.3 testing for export markets.
ISO 9001 & BSCI audited
Achieved ISO 9001 certification and passed BSCI social-compliance audit, formalizing our quality and ethics systems.
New 18,000 m² facility
Consolidated all processes into a single vertically-integrated facility in the Ouhai Eyewear Industrial Zone.
Bio-acetate & sustainability
Introduced plant-based bio-acetate, recycled materials and eco packaging for sustainability-led eyewear brands.
1,200+ brands, 60+ countries
Now shipping 5M+ pairs a year with a 98.5% on-time record, serving DTC, sports, promotional and optical buyers worldwide.
Stocked, organized, ready to ship
Our warehouse keeps a deep library of acetate, resin, metal components, lens blanks and packaging materials in stock — so common specs sample fast and bulk orders aren't held up waiting on raw materials. Finished goods are batch-tracked, inspected and packed for export to any port worldwide.
