Pleasure Ground Sunglasses

Thanks for staring!

Pleasure Ground eyewear is created out of our commitment to quality for your commitment to fun. We believe that polar is as good as it gets; enough so that its all we do.

Pleasure Ground is inspired by the Southern California lifestyle in which it was born - laid back with an edge. At the end of the day, we're inspired by the classics. That's why we're offering a brand that's for people who aren't necessarily into wearing brands.

Polarized lenses act as a filter between your eyes and the harsh elements, warding off glare and soothing your eyes. Wearing polarized lenses not only extends your playtime outdoors, but extends the natural life of your eyesight. Do it for your vision.

Welcome to Pleasure Ground, high quality eyewear ...for your viewing pleasure.
