Nissan Formula E Team and Coral Eyewear: premium quality with low impact
Founded in 2019 by George and Calvin Bailey, Coral Eyewear aims to deliver elegant and luxury glasses using production methods based on recycled and plant-based materials. The innovative idea attracted the attention of English TV presenter Jake Humphrey, who has since invested in the young company. Obviously it is always very high attention to environmental responsibility at every stage of the brand’s production and distribution process.
We are immensely proud to partner with Team Nissan Formula E, one of the most loved teams in the championship. It’s exciting to see developments in electric technology move from the track to road vehicles, and the team is clearly making an ever-increasing commitment to sustainable options for everything it needs.
