Quay emerged from Australia’s vibrant music-festival culture, where founders Linda and Allen Hammond—and later their son Zak—turned a passion for fashion and fun into eyewear that’s both bold and accessible  . Since launching in 2004 in Melbourne, the brand quickly expanded—entering international markets by 2009 and now available through over 2,000 retailers across 35 countries  .

Quay Sunglasses bring together trend‑forward design and festival energy, blending playful silhouettes, elevated details, and premium materials—all at an affordable price point  . The brand has cultivated a dedicated global following—thanks to its fashion‑forward ethos, strong social media presence, virtual try‑on tech, and celebrity endorsements from icons like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Kylie Jenner, and Lizzo  .

As a global eyewear powerhouse, Quay continues to innovate, balancing bold style with inclusivity and accessibility. It invites wearers to stand out, embrace their vibe, and express themselves—one perfect pair of sunnies at a time.
