About Us

Jake Ellis® Sunglasses began in 2019 with two islander friends.

 

Starting out

The two friends, born on the Isle of Wight, grew up surrounded by sandy beaches, rolling hills, and endless coastline to explore. Spending days surfing, mountain biking, and hiking.

 

Hooked on adventure

Jake and Ellis loved the adventurous life on the Isle of Wight but soon had to think about their futures and decided to adventure in a new way, putting their creative talents to work. With the Isle of Wight being the sunniest place in the UK, sunglasses are a part of everyday life. Starting with a small batch, learning as they went. They named the brand Jake Ellis Sunglasses after the two of them to keep it real.

 

Riding the wave…

The sunglasses started to take off. People connected with the brand’s down-to-earth attitude, island spirit, and no-nonsense quality. Each new pair was built better than the last, timeless designs made for real life, not throwaway trends. Word spread. Orders grew. And the vision expanded: to build a thoughtful brand for people who live deliberately and seek out the good stuff, just like they do.

 

We are Jake Ellis

Sunglasses built for adventure, everyday.
