Yesterday we were excited to have our local Maui Jimrepresentative in the Knaresborough branch to talk to us about their brand andwhat sets their sunglasses apart from the rest.
They are the third largest sunglasses brand globally. Thecompany originates from the Hawaiian island of Maui, where they still developtheir products to this day. The ‘Jim’ in the brand name comes from thecompany’s founders pet parrot who is apparently quite a character.
People who have chosen to wear Maui Jim sunglasses willrarely buy any other brand again. The reason that people love their Maui Jimsunglasses is the fantastic lens quality.
Maui Jim say:
“Our sunglasseswon’t change the world-they’ll change the way you see it.”
Maui Jim’s lenses are all polarized and use rare earthelements in the lenses to enhance colour and clarity with an anti-reflectivetreatment on the back surface to neutralise reflected light from behind whichhelps to reduce eye strain. They arealso scratch resistant and have a waterproof and oleophobic coating making themeasier to keep clean.
Maui Jim sunglasses are recommended by The Skin CancerFoundation as an effective filter for the eyes and surrounding skin. They block100% of UV A, B and C and manage the transmission of blue light to a betterlevel, without which you wouldn’t be able to see colour properly.
Most of the frames are available in non-prescription andprescription (power dependent) and you can choose from a variety of types oflenses dependent on what you will use them for including a vibrant blue flashlens, the blue Hawaii.
Both Garrey and Karen are wearing these incrediblesunglasses and I think I’ll be the next in line to buy them. We have them inall three stores and will be more than happy to let you try them out anddemonstrate to you why Maui Jim really are the best sunglasses you can get foryour money.
