About the Company

ARMD is a bold eyewear brand redefining what it means to wear sunglasses. We believe sunglasses are more than just accessories; they're armor. Designed for self-expression, confidence, and individuality, ARMD shades are made for those who show up unapologetically, no matter the season.

Founded by Shaida Aramide Alabi, ARMD was inspired by the idea that style and empowerment can go hand in hand. Each pair of sunglasses embodies strength, attitude, and the freedom to be seen on your own terms.

At ARMD, we don’t just make shades, we make statements.

About the Founder

ARMD was born from the personal journey of founder and CEO, Shaida Aramide Alabi. Known for wearing sunglasses year-round, Shaida embraced shades not just as a fashion statement, but as a shield and an empowering tool to manage her social anxiety. Behind every pair she wore was a story of confidence, self-expression, and liberation.

What started as a personal coping mechanism quickly caught attention. Compliments poured in, and it became clear her love for sunglasses was more than just style; it was a lifestyle.

ARMD represents bold, unapologetic confidence and the freedom to express your true self one pair of shades at a time.

Tiwa

“I get stopped every time I wear these!”
I bought the “Tiwa” frames and babyyyy, the compliments don’t stop! The quality is crazy good, super sturdy but still lightweight. You can tell these aren’t your average sunnies.

”My new go-to frames for every season”
These are my everyday shades now. The design is bold without being too loud, and they elevate every outfit.

“My man stole my pair, now we both ordering more” We’re both obsessed. I had to hide mine in my car because he kept ‘borrowing’ them. So yeah, we’re team ARMD now.
