What is SET?
SET is a small, independent sunglasses brand based in Cape Town. We select strong shapes and release them in limited, pre-order-only drops. The First SET is five unisex styles.
How does pre-order work?
Choose your style and colour and check out as normal — payment is taken at checkout to secure your pair. Once the pre-order window closes, orders are placed with our supplier. Your pair is not available for immediate dispatch.
When do pre-orders close?
15 October 2026.
When will I receive my order?
Please allow approximately two weeks from the close of the pre-order window (15 October 2026) for your order to arrive in South Africa. Delivery to you follows thereafter, and we'll email you when your order is on its way. If the timing changes, we'll let you know.
Where does SET ship?
South Africa only, for now.
How much is shipping?
Standard Delivery within South Africa is free on every order.
Can I cancel or return my order?
You can cancel a pre-order for a full refund before pre-orders close on 15 October. Once your order arrives, you have 7 days to return it unworn and in its original condition, and faulty items are covered for 6 months. See our Returns page for the details.
How do I choose my shape?
Start with our Find Your Shape guide. It's a starting point, not a rulebook — wear the pair you keep coming back to.
What are SET sunglasses made from?
Every SET frame is made from acetate, with TAC lenses.
What about lenses and UV protection?
Lens colours and specifications are listed on each product page. SET 03 — Motel has UV400 lenses.
Are SET sunglasses unisex?
Yes. Every SET style is designed to be worn by anyone.
