INDY is an affordable, fashion-forward, and sustainability-focused eyewear brand based in Brooklyn, NY. Founded by Scottish-born designer Indie McFarlane, INDY was built on a love for sunglasses—not just as an accessory, but as a source of confidence. From a young age, Indie wore sunglasses as her comfort blanket, and as she grew, so did her passion for creating high-quality eyewear without the designer markup.

Using the paychecks from her first job, Indie launched INDY from her bedroom floor, designing sunglasses that make wearers feel chic, expensive, and unstoppable. At 22, she moved to New York to expand her vision, growing INDY into a globally recognized brand that’s now sold by Anthropologie, Free People, and more.

With a commitment to sustainability, INDY uses biodegradable and recycled materials in every collection, proving that luxury and eco-conscious design can go hand in hand. The brand has been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Nylon, Vice, Popsugar, and WWD, and has been spotted on celebrities like Bella Hadid, Alicia Keys, Alix Earle, Bretman Rock, and Katherine Schwarzenegger, as well as countless digital trendsetters.

"Between the celebrity sightings and magazine placements, Brooklyn-based Indy eyewear may seem like a huge operation. It's actually a one-woman show by designer Indie McFarlane, who channels New York City's bustling energy into sunglasses anyone, anywhere will want to wear." - Harper's Bazaar
