Quay Sunglasses
BrightEyes carries Quay, the eyewear brand that began at a festival stall in Victoria, and the Nightfall Medium is our best-selling Quay model. Virtual try-on lets you check selected frames on your own face, BrightEyes stores from Cairns to Broome fit and adjust frames at no charge, and online orders can be posted back within 30 days for a refund.
Choosing a Quay frame
The Nightfall Medium's leading colourway, black with smoke polarised lenses, is listed as a medium injected shield. For a bigger version of the same idea, the Nightfall Oversized is listed as an extra-large shield.
The Level Up, a large square, is our next best-selling single model. For an aviator, the High Key comes in two sizes in metal, High Key Large (Mini) and High Key Extra Large, and the two sell about equally. The High Profile is another aviator. The Big Time is a medium round metal frame, and the Come Thru and Call The Shots Remixed are cat-eyes.
Most of our Quay range sits in our women's sunglasses, with a smaller selection in men's sunglasses. If you are not sure which shape suits you, our guide to the best sunglass shape for your face is a good place to start.
Quay lenses
About a quarter of our Quay range is polarised, so check the listed lens specification on each product. Polarised versions of the Nightfall Medium, High Key and Level Up are available alongside standard lenses. Among our recorded best sellers, smoke, black gradient and brown lenses appear most. Our polarised sunglasses page collects polarised frames from a range of brands.
About Quay
Quay Australia was founded in 2004 by husband and wife Allen and Linda Hammond, who started at a roadside stall at the Falls Festival in Victoria. Their son Zac joined the business in 2009. The brand made its name with oversized frames and bold colour combinations.
Quay sunglasses questions
Is Quay an Australian brand?
Yes, in origin. Quay Australia was founded in 2004 by Allen and Linda Hammond, who began at a roadside stall at the Falls Festival in Victoria. It is now sold by retailers around the world, and a San Francisco-based brand management company has since taken a majority stake in the business.
What is the difference between the High Key, Come Thru and Call The Shots Remixed?
Shape and material. The High Key is a metal aviator, in Large (Mini) and Extra Large. The Come Thru is a large cat-eye in injected plastic, and the Call The Shots Remixed is a medium cat-eye in acetate. If you like a cat-eye but want a smaller frame, the Call The Shots Remixed is the one to try.
Are Quay sunglasses polarised?
Some are. About a quarter of the Quay frames we list have polarised lenses. Best sellers such as the Nightfall Medium, High Key and Level Up come in polarised versions, and the rest of the range has non-polarised tinted or gradient lenses. Check the listed lens specification on each product to confirm.
Do Quay sunglasses come in different sizes?
Some styles do. The Nightfall comes as Nightfall Medium and Nightfall Oversized, and the High Key comes as High Key Large (Mini) and High Key Extra Large. Check the size in each product's details, try frames on your own face in the browser, and any BrightEyes store will adjust the fit for free.
Are Quay sunglasses for men or women?
Both, though most of our Quay range sits in the women's section. Our best-selling Nightfall Medium, the High Key aviators and the Big Time round frame are listed in both our men's and women's ranges, while the Level Up, Come Thru and Call The Shots Remixed are in the women's range.
Where can I buy Quay sunglasses in Australia?
Right here, and in BrightEyes stores from Cairns to Broome. Stock varies by store, so check this page for what is available online. Use the store finder to see your closest stores, where staff will fit and adjust your frame for free.
Does BrightEyes sell Quay prescription glasses?
No. BrightEyes does not fit prescription lenses to any frame, Quay included. If you already wear glasses, a fitover slips on over them for sun protection, and a clip-on fixes to the front of your frame instead.
