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 polarized UV400 lenses.
From the beaches of the North Coast to the streets of downtown, PATO is made to be worn — every single day.

Serious sun protection
