Paying homage to Opolis’ founder’s great, great grandfather sea captain Reuben Merrill, the Champlain is named after Captain Merrill’s 216-foot clipper ship built at East Boston and running out of New York that sank at the North Farallones on June 14, 1875, where Merrill lost his life. The design represents Merrill's adventurous spirit and dedication to the sea.
A stylish, sustainable style for every face - especially those looking for a more oversized look. Our StokedPlastic® material is feather-light with extra protection on the sides, making the Champlain a perfect choice for long days out in the sun, enjoying the planet these sunnies are designed to protect. Each pair pulls 4 water bottles out of the environment, and includes a StokedPlastic® case and microfiber cloth.

James was a US government contractor working in international countries for 12 years to help identify the value chain of violence. After finding a correlation between highly polluted communities and violence, he started to ask.. “Is there a way that I, James Merrill on the ground in Pakistan, can help this village with this problem now?” So he created a small sustainable business trying to do the right thing.
“Honestly I’ve wanted to quit a million times. I’ve had so many hard moments in this journey but I think of all these people I’ve wanted to support that are dealing with stuff I can’t even comprehend"
