FAQs

Every Past Midnight frame is designed in-house in Miami by our founders, Carolina & Lauren. From silhouette and fit to color selection and finishing details, each style is thoughtfully developed through several months of sampling to ensure it meets our standards for quality, comfort, and timeless design.

Past Midnight eyewear is crafted by highly vetted manufacturing partners in China and Vietnam who specialize in premium eyewear production. We work with the same world-class facilities trusted by leading luxury houses and have carefully selected our partners for their expertise, craftsmanship, ethical manufacturing practices, and commitment to quality.

We source our materials from premier suppliers in Italy and China, including Mazzucchelli acetate, widely regarded as the gold standard in luxury eyewear.

Every Past Midnight frame begins as an original design developed in-house by our founders. We do not work from pre-existing frame templates. Each style starts with detailed technical drawings and is refined through an extensive sampling process, with careful attention paid to fit, proportions, color, and finishing details. Multiple rounds of development and revisions ensure every frame looks, feels, and fits exactly as intended before it reaches production.

Our frames are crafted from premium cellulose acetate sourced from the same world-renowned suppliers trusted by many of the industry's leading luxury houses. Unlike standard plastics, acetate is lightweight, durable, and designed to age beautifully over time.

Producing in limited quantities allows us to be hands-on throughout the development process and ensure every style feels exclusive and thoughtfully made.

When possible, we open pre-orders on select styles, allowing customers to reserve a pair in advance of an upcoming production run.

Every pair of Past Midnight eyewear arrives with a premium protective case and microfiber cleaning cloth, thoughtfully designed to help protect and care for your frames.

To keep your eyewear looking its best, we recommend storing your frames in their protective case when not in use and cleaning your lenses with the included microfiber cloth. Avoid placing your frames lens-side down and keep them away from excessive heat, harsh chemicals, and abrasive surfaces.

Please note that prolonged exposure to heat can cause both acetate and metal frames to warp, stretch, or lose their original shape. We recommend avoiding storing your eyewear in hot cars or other high-temperature environments whenever possible.

Over time, normal wear may also cause the plating and finish on metal components to naturally age. This is a normal characteristic of metal eyewear and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

With proper care, your Past Midnight eyewear is designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

At this time, we do not offer a warranty. Because eyewear is subject to individual wear, handling, storage conditions, and daily use, we are unable to guarantee products beyond their delivery.

If your order arrives damaged or you believe there is a manufacturing defect, please contact us at orders@pastmidnightlabel.com within 10 days of delivery. Be sure to include your order number and clear photos of the damage so our team can review your request and assist you as quickly as possible.
