Tell Us a Little About Yourself?
I’m Cassie — a former South African swimmer turned Performance Coach. I represented South Africa in swimming before moving to the U.S. to study and continue competing, and later lived in Thailand where my love for exploring new cultures and coastlines grew even stronger. The ocean has always been my grounding force — it inspires everything I do. I’m passionate about animals and being a voice for them, and I love expressing creativity through fashion and style. My life is all about balance — between adventure, purpose, and a little bit of glam.

Why handmade?
Honestly, I’ve always loved handmade sunglasses because you can really feel the difference. They’re crafted with so much more care and attention to detail — the quality, the fit, even the way they sit on your face just feels more personal. Each pair is unique, not something mass-produced. Plus, a lot of handmade brands focus on sustainability and use better materials, which I really appreciate. It’s like wearing a little piece of art instead of just another accessory.
