Princess Charlene of Monaco has personally collaborated on the creation of a new limited-edition sunglasses collection that blends elegant design with meaningful purpose. From concept to naming, the Princess played a key role in shaping this stylish release by My Crown Collection, with proceeds directly supporting her Foundation’s drowning prevention work.
The new capsule collection is titled Wave Safe and it was launched in September through a collaboration between MyCrown Collection and Greek eyewear maker Faos Sunglasses. But this is no ordinary fashion release. The project has been personally shaped by Princess Charlene of Monaco, who was actively involved in the creative process, from selecting the unisex design to naming the collection itself. The result is a refined yet versatile piece of eyewear, designed not only to be worn but to make an impact.
Only 300 individually numbered pairs of these sunglasses have been produced, and each sale supports the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. Known for its life-saving drowning prevention workshops and water safety programmes, the Foundation operates in several countries, including Greece, where these handcrafted sunglasses are made.
Speaking about the collaboration, MyCrown founder Sophia Vaharis Tsouvelekakis said: “I think it is important to give back. If you are fortunate enough to be in a position to do so, then you should. Money raised from these sunglasses will go directly to the Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation. But it’s about more than that. It is about raising awareness of the incredible work that her Foundation does in Greece.”
Buyers of the sunglasses are encouraged to scan an included QR code to learn more about the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation and its mission. The collaboration is designed to both raise funds and shine a light on the impactful work being done by the Princess and her Foundation, particularly in raising awareness around water safety and drowning prevention.
The sunglasses are made from high-quality Mazzucchelli acetate and finished with 18ct gold or silver-plated details. They feature premium Zeiss lenses with internal anti-reflective coatings, and come packaged in eco-conscious boxes made from FSC-certified materials. The cleaning cloth is crafted from recycled ocean-bound plastic, reflecting the collaboration’s commitment to sustainability.
With their crystal sage frames and cool grey lenses, the sunglasses offer a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic. They are unisex, seasonless, and designed to be worn with purpose. More than a fashion accessory, the Wave Safe capsule is a tribute to the Princess’s dedication to saving lives — and a chance for supporters to wear their values.
