Case Study

My name is Andrew Shapiro, and I am the co-founder and CEO of Tomahawk Shades. Tomahawk Shades is the Eyewear Brand I co-founded with my twin brother, Ryan Shapiro. Our goal was to create affordable eyewear while providing the best quality in the market.

We have made our eyewear from a handful of different materials and, at the moment, are putting a strong focus on acetate, which is what is used in our best-selling Ranger Class. Within the last 3 years, we have seen a 175% increase in sales year over year, to increase this going forward.
