Gentle Monster’s New Veggie Collection Is The Freshest Eyewear Drop This Summer 2026
Foldable eyewear with clear and tinted lenses, accompanied with cute veggie monster bag charms.
If your FYP has been suddenly flooded with influencers unboxing veggie-themed PR packages, that would likely be Gentle Monster’s upcoming 2026 Veggie Collection – a new range of eyewear that draws inspiration directly from the contents of our salad bowls. Needless to say, the campaign teaser is an absolute fever dream. Starring Aespa’s Karina, the video follows her as she wanders through a barren dreamscape dotted with mountains of juicy tomatoes and gravity-defying sheep.
This “surreal mise-en-scène” is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Gentle Monster, known for their immersive storytelling and avant garde designs that continuously blur the line between fashion and art.
The collection features ten compact foldable eyewear designs that reimagine the organic silhouettes and vibrant hues of veggies like bell peppers and tomatoes (technically a fruit, but we digress). By balancing bold, nature-inspired accents with a distinctive synthetic edge, this new Veggie Collection perfectly melds the botanical aesthetics of farm-fresh produce with Gentle Monster’s signature futuristic and functional design.
Here are our top picks from the harvest:
Gentle Monster Aden 02
Featuring oval metal frames and metallic temples inspired by plant stalks, as well as quaint little tomato stem details – a recurring motif across many pieces in the collection. Available in clear, yellow and green.
Price: $428
Gentle Monster Tofi 02
Perfect as a statement piece, these bell-pepper-shaped metal frames are elevated by intricate, coiling vine-inspired temples and tomato stem accents. Available in pink, yellow and green to match the shades of the actual vegetable.
Price: $438
Gentle Monster Vert 02
Half-rimmed glasses are so back. These edgy, reversed rectangular frames incorporate nature’s bold shades and textures into its stalk-like temples, complete with metallic tomato stems motifs. Available in orange, clear and yellow.

Gentle Monster Radi 02
If you’re looking for a more versatile, everyday option, this is it. With sleek, metallic oval frames and signature plant stem temple detailing, this pair lets you channel office siren energy while giving a subtle nod to the collection’s roots (pun intended).
