INDY is a women-led, affordable, fashion-forward eyewear brand based in Brooklyn, NY. Designer and founder, Indie McFarlane, who grew up in Scotland, had a huge passion for sunglasses, leading her to launch INDY (a play on her name) from her bedroom floor, using her pay checks from her bar jobs to invest into her start-up.

Indie then moved the brand over to New York at the age of 22. Indie has always said how confident sunglasses make her feel, so she wanted to share that confidence with others through her own designs.

INDY quickly became well known for its vintage-inspired affordable eyewear with modern twists, including colorful transparent lenses, exaggerated shapes and snappy wording on frames. The brand has been seen in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Nylon, Vice, Popsugar, WWD, among others and has been worn by celebs fans including Bella Hadid, Alicia Keys, Alix Earle, Bretman Rock, and more.

"Between the celebrity sightings and magazine placements, Brooklyn-based Indy eyewear may seem like a huge operation. It's actually a one-woman show by designer Indie McFarlane, who channels New York City's bustling energy into sunglasses anyone, anywhere will want to wear." - Harper's Bazaar

Excellent customer service

I was very impressed with the way my return of sunglasses was handled. They weren’t right for me in the end, but the customer service was above and beyond what I expected. I would definitely recommend this shop.

Exactly what I was looking for

Great fit and well made. Not ridiculously oversized like a lot of sunnies I’ve found.

Spicy 🌶️

I bought these to bring a lil pop to my usual brown or black sunnies
These a sturdy quality glasses I am happy with them

Love!!

this colorway is my favorite, it's super soft on my skin tone and I love the amber lenses. they make everything look so beautiful!

this shape is perfection

I'd been looking for the perfect oval shape for years until I came across these! They fix perfectly and the quality is super luxurious. I love that the lenses are also polarized so I know my eyes are protected. My new fave sunnies <3

THE QUALITY

I'm shook at how amazing the quality is of these, they feel the same/if not better than my Gucci sunglasses which were $300+. They make me feel and look so expensive and I love that I'm supporting a small business too! Highly recommend these if you're on the fence.

Love

I love these elegant frames, they go with every outfit and really compliment my face

Great sunglasses for every day and more!

I don’t typically wear sunglasses but these have become one of my favorite accessories! They’re so easy to pair with my lazy girl outfits and more elevated ones too! Also bonus points for supporting a women-owned small business <3

Fun color, perfect shape

Out of several sunglasses I ordered from Indy, I expected to like these the least. In fact, they are my favorite. I even ordered a second pair. The style works well on my square-shaped face. Good quality and excellent protection from UV rays.

Love these sunglasses!

I ordered the Nolita black sunglass style. They arrived and while trying them on, I noticed they sat a bit crooked on my face. I reached out to customer service and Indie got back with me the same day and let me know she was going to be shipping a replacement pair asap! The replacements came and are perfect - the style is timeless and I love that the company truly stands behind their brand and quality of their products. Great experience all around

Soooo cute!!

This pair is so cute and flattering! I’ve gotten so many compliments whenever I wear them out and love that they’re polarized

Thoroughly. dazzling!

I ordered these orange frames, and in black too--with a little trepidation, as I couldn't try them on, and I was adding a mega prescription! But! The frame is great, super solid construction, nice quality material and the prescription is spot on. The optician had a question about my prescription and they sent me a personal email...resulting in a better lens and great pair of sunnies! Thanks! I am looking forward to my next order!

Very flattering

The frame is very flattering and the shade is very effective in keeping out glare.
