About Maui Jim

Maui Jim started in 1987 as a small company selling sunglasses on Ka'anapali beach in Lahaina, Maui. Seeing a need in the market for technology that could protect eyes from intense glare and harmful UV while bringing the brilliant colors of the island to life, we engineered the revolutionary PolarizedPlus2® lens.

What began as our Classic Collection of seven styles, has evolved into over 125 styles of sunglasses, all of which are polarized and protect from 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, and over 125 styles of eyeglasses.

Our original office is located in Lahaina, Maui, and we still design and test all of our sunglasses there.

In 2022, Maui Jim became part of Kering Eyewear, which belongs to the global Luxury group Kering. Kering Eyewear designs, develops and distributes eyewear for a complete and well-balanced portfolio of brands including LINDBERG, Gucci, Cartier, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Montblanc, Brioni, Dunhill, Boucheron, Pomellato, Alaia, MCQ and Puma.
