Four Years & Counting: A Thank You to Our Family

As ENIGMA celebrates its fourth anniversary, we find ourselves reflecting on an incredible journey filled with hard work, passion, and unwavering support from our global family—our employees, our customers, and all who believed in our vision from day one. In just four years, our commitment to excellence has taken us across the globe, with over 50,000 pairs of sunglasses sold in 76 countries. Thousands of five-star reviews from customers around the world remind us that what we’ve created is more than just a product—it’s an experience.

To Our Employees: The Heart of ENIGMA

We are incredibly proud of our team of 24 dedicated employees who have been the driving force behind ENIGMA’s success. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to our mission have allowed us to thrive in a competitive industry. ENIGMA is more than just a workplace—it’s a community, built on the principles of respect, fairness, and integrity.

As part of our commitment to our team, we are proud to be a Fair Pay Workplace, ensuring that every individual who works with us receives fair compensation and a positive work environment. We uphold the internationally recognized standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO), ensuring that our suppliers align with our core values:

  • No forced labor
  • No discrimination
  • No child labor
  • Freedom to unionize, with the right to collective bargaining
  • A salary that covers basic family needs
  • No excessive overtime
  • A healthy and safe working environment
  • Legal employment contracts for all

This isn’t just policy—it’s the foundation of how we choose to operate. Our team deserves nothing less, and we are deeply committed to upholding these standards in everything we do.

To Our Customers: The Reason for Our Success

To our incredible customers, we owe everything. It’s your support that has fueled our growth and success, and we’re overwhelmed by the love you’ve shown us. From your glowing reviews to your continued trust in our products, you’ve been our biggest advocates. We are proud to say that ENIGMA sunglasses boast some of the highest customer satisfaction in the industry, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and premium materials that go into every single pair.

This year has been one of immense growth for ENIGMA—not just in sales but in customer satisfaction. We've listened to your feedback, continued to innovate, and held true to our mission of providing the finest sunglasses without compromise. Your enthusiasm has inspired us to push even further, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

Our Commitment to Doing Business the Right Way

At ENIGMA, we believe in doing business the right way—ethically, responsibly, and sustainably. We are committed to working only with suppliers who meet the highest standards of the ILO. We refuse to relocate to cheap labor markets or downgrade our materials for the sake of cutting costs. Our heritage is rooted in producing small, handcrafted batches of sunglasses made with meticulous care by Italian artisans, using only the finest materials.

Sustainability and ethics guide every decision we make, from the suppliers we choose to the manufacturing processes we implement. This commitment to doing business right is part of who we are, and it’s a promise we will never break.

Giving Back: Then and Now

Our dedication to giving back is central to our mission. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we were honored to donate over 100,000 USD to Doctors Without Borders and other charitable organizations, helping support those on the front lines during one of the most challenging times in recent history. And that commitment continues today. Each year, we donate 10 percent of our profits to charitable causes, ensuring that as we grow, so does our ability to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Looking Ahead: The Future of ENIGMA

As we celebrate our fourth year, we’re not just looking back—we’re looking forward. We have seen tremendous success this year, and we are excited for what’s to come. But one thing will never change: we will continue to stay true to our roots. We will never compromise on the quality of our materials, nor will we abandon the artisanship that makes ENIGMA sunglasses truly special.

To our employees, customers, partners, and supporters—thank you for believing in us. Here’s to many more years of creating extraordinary sunglasses and making a lasting difference, one handcrafted pair at a time.

With sincere gratitude,
Abdullah S. Ahmad
