About us

Eyewear with a point of view

Independent, Cairo-based, and obsessive about the details — we make frames for the brightest light on earth.

Our story

Born under the Cairo sun

PATO started with a simple idea: sunglasses good enough for the brightest sun on earth shouldn't cost a fortune. Every frame we make is designed in Cairo, built from durable acetate, and fitted with the highest quality lenses.

From the beaches of the North Coast to the streets of downtown, PATO is made to be worn — every single day.
