Wear Panda is on a journey to change the environmental and social impact of sunglasses. Panda produces high-end sunglasses handcrafted from sustainable bamboo and recycled polycarbonates. What's more, each purchase gives the gift of vision to someone in need. Through their partnership with The TOMA Foundation, Panda has found a unique opportunity to help grow organically alongside a non-profit organization.

PANDA was founded by a group of Georgetown students that had gone their separate ways upon graduation.

As an Austin-native, one of the Panda founders grew up alongside the Tribal Outreach Medical Assistance Foundation (TOMA) and witnessed their struggle to raise funds for their international medical aid trips after the 2008 financial crisis. PANDA sunglasses are created with a purpose - with each purchase, PANDA provides the gift of vision - a free eye exam and eyewear to a person in need through the TOMA Foundation.

Through the partnership with The TOMA Foundation, Panda has found a unique opportunity to help grow organically alongside a non-profit organization.
