Because we have to start somewhere…
WearPanda began in 2012 with a wonderfully successful Kickstarter. The Original Pandas worked tirelessly to introduce the world to a new kind of eco-friendly eyewear. By 2016 the team had grown hungry for a new adventure though, and WearPanda moved across the country, finding a new home in Seattle, Washington.
We’ve flourished in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, enjoying the company of like-minded people who care passionately about the great outdoors. But we couldn’t have gotten here without the incredible work of the O.P. team. Their accomplishments are many, but we’d like to highlight just a few.
