Original Meller sunglasses are now available at Life By Rome in Hulhumalé Phase 2, giving shoppers in the Maldives the chance to buy genuine pieces from the Barcelona-born eyewear brand without having to order from overseas.
Life By Rome, a toy shop located in Vinares Tower 7, has added the Meller range to its shelves. Customers can now see, try on and choose from authentic Meller frames in person, with the assurance that they are buying the original product rather than a copy.
About Meller
Meller is a fashion eyewear brand founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 2014 by college friends Sergi Benet, Borja Nadal and Marco Grandi, with Chris Erthel later joining as a co-founder. The brand set out to make well-designed, quality sunglasses more affordable, at a time when stylish eyewear was largely seen as a luxury item.
Starting as a digital brand selling online, Meller grew quickly among younger, fashion-conscious buyers across Europe and the United States. According to the company, it was selling a pair of sunglasses every minute by 2022. The brand also operates its own stores in cities including Barcelona and Amsterdam.
In July 2025, Indian eyewear company Lenskart acquired a majority stake in Meller, and later that year launched the brand across hundreds of its stores in India.
Design and Protection
Meller is known for bold silhouettes and striking colours that stand apart from more traditional, minimal eyewear styles. Its range includes chunky acetate frames, aviator-inspired shapes and lighter metal designs.
Beyond the look, the brand places emphasis on eye protection, which is especially relevant under the strong tropical sun of the Maldives. Key features of Meller sunglasses include:
- UV400 lenses that block 100 per cent of ultraviolet rays
- Polarised lenses on many models to cut glare from water, sand and other reflective surfaces
- Nickel-free materials in its metal frames
- Compliance with European, American and Australian sunglasses standards
Why Buying Original Matters
Imitation sunglasses may look similar, but they often lack proper UV filtering. Dark lenses without real UV protection can cause the pupils to widen, potentially letting more harmful light into the eyes than wearing no sunglasses at all.
With original Meller sunglasses now on sale at Life By Rome, customers in the Maldives have a local option for genuine, certified eyewear that combines contemporary style with reliable protection.

Meller sunglasses are available at Life By Rome, Vinares Tower 7, Hulhumalé Phase 2, Maldives.
