Two adventure seekers, one pura vida lifestyle and sunglasses made to go everywhere with you.
Be groovyjust chill and surf the wave, homie.
stay groovy
GRUV. comes from the word groove: to enjoy yourself and take great pleasure. A lifestyle of confidence, rhythm and self-expression.
We shortened the name on purpose for a modern, bold identity, and the UV is the protection our lenses give you against harmful sunlight.
The dot in our logo is the sun and the three wavy lines are the ocean. Freedom and flow, nature and lifestyle in balance.
our mother land
Costa Rica is where we're from and the reason GRUV. exists. It gives us the mental space to create an eyewear brand that feels expressive, sustainable and alive.
Pura vida isn't a slogan here. It's how we live, how we slow down and how we design.
pura vida.
our new partnership
For every pair of GRUV. you buy, $1 is donated to Costas Verdes. It's our way of giving back to the nature that inspires everything we do.
built for the way we live
We're happiest outside, so we design for the water, the trail and the road.
Dawn sessions, salty hair and sunsets from the water. GRUV. is made for life in and around the ocean.
Peaks, trails and jungle roads. One of us has hiked all the top peaks of Costa Rica, and our frames come along for the climb.
Road trips, beach walks and long days outside. Built for an active lifestyle, light on your face and made to move with you.
love for nature
Nature is the reason we do this, so we try to take care of it. Our frames are bio-acetate: plant-based, lower impact and made to last.
And with every pair, $1 goes to Costas Verdes.
seek the wild.
what we believe
Step out of your comfort zone. Find beauty in the unknown, in nature and in yourself.
Laid-back and positive in everything we do, from our frames to the way we talk.
Every pair should look great and stand the test of time and outdoor adventures.
Simple and honest. Stylish, high-quality eyewear that fits our lifestyle, and we never promise more than we deliver.
who it's for
Real people living at their own pace: on the beach, on the trail, on a wave. If you love the outdoors, good design and a slower rhythm, you're already part of the GRUV.
