Scott Sunglasses

Scott sunglasses in India

Scott sunglasses cost ₹2,399 to ₹4,990 at Chashmish. Scott is an Indian fashion eyewear brand, launched in 2002 and owned by Sterling Meta Plast India in Mumbai. It sits in the gap most shoppers are actually looking for: a real brand name, in current shapes, at roughly a third of what a Ray-Ban costs.

Where the brand came from

Scott is younger than it looks and more local than most people assume. It was launched in 2002 by the Parikh family's Sterling-Skylark Optical Company, a Mumbai business that had already been distributing eyewear in India since 1984, handling brands like Vogue, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger before building one of its own. That is an unusual starting point — most fashion eyewear reaches India as a licence, whereas Scott was designed by people who had spent eighteen years watching which frames Indian customers actually bought.

The positioning is straightforward: current international shapes at prices that do not need a special occasion to justify. Campaigns have run with Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapoor, and earlier with Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor. In practice Scott sits a clear step above optician house brands while costing well under the European labels.

Scott sunglasses price in India

The Scott sunglasses price in India generally runs from about ₹2,500 to ₹4,800. At Chashmish the Scott frames in stock are ₹2,399 to ₹4,990. Plastic and acetate frames sit at the lower end, metal frames in the middle, and the polarised model is the dearest — the lens is what moves the price, not the badge.

Most retailers will not give you a straight answer on this. The largest Scott page in the country runs to about 1,700 words without printing a single price, and the next largest publishes three different ranges that contradict each other. So here is the whole catalogue, model by model.

Three things move the price. The lens does most of it — a polarized lens is a genuinely different thing to make, which is why SC3257PL Noir tops the list. The frame material comes next: plastic is cheapest, metal and acetate cost more. The construction finishes it off, so a shaped metal front like the hexagonal Maxwell costs more than a plain rectangle.

Against the rest of the market this is the sensible middle. House brands and mass-market labels sit below ₹1,500, where you are buying a frame with no brand behind it; Ray-Ban and Oakley start several thousand rupees above. The Scott sunglasses price band is the step up from the first without the jump to the second.

Who makes Scott eyewear

Scott eyewear is made by Sterling Meta Plast India Private Limited, a Mumbai company trading as Sterling-Skylark Optical. It has been in Indian optical distribution since 1984 and launched Scott as its own brand in 2002. So Scott is an Indian brand with an English-sounding name, which is exactly why so many people search for where it is from.

It is worth saying plainly, because the question comes up constantly and almost nobody answers it. The company is Indian, registered at Kalbadevi Road in Mumbai with a branch in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, and it runs a second line called Sorrento by Scott.

That matters for more than curiosity. The common worry about any mid-priced eyewear brand in India is that it is an unbranded import wearing a foreign-sounding name. Scott is not that. It is a twenty-year-old brand from a company that spent the previous two decades distributing other people's eyewear, sold through opticians across the country, and it carries the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects like any other brand we stock.

Scott goggles or Scott sunglasses?

In India, Scott goggles and Scott sunglasses mean the same thing. Goggles is everyday Indian English for sunglasses, and Indian retailers use the words interchangeably. Everything on this page is sunglasses, whichever word you searched for.

There is one genuine complication, and it is worth clearing up because no other page does. Scott Sports is a different company. It is Swiss, it has been making ski, motocross and cycling equipment since 1958, and it makes real strapped goggles for the mountains. The two brands share a name and nothing else — no ownership, no licence, no connection. If you are looking for motocross or ski goggles, those are Scott Sports and we do not stock them. If you want sunglasses, you are in the right place.

The same applies to Scott shades and the Scott goggles price question — different phrasings, same frames, and the prices are the ones in the table above. One more piece of confusion worth naming: searches for Travis Scott sunglasses are usually after the rapper's Oakley collaboration, which is a different brand entirely and is not sold in India. Scott's own aviator happens to be named Travis, model SC507, which is how the two get tangled together. We do not stock that model at present.

Polarized Scott sunglasses and the PL code

A PL in a Scott model number means the lens is polarized. SC3257PL Noir is the polarised frame stocked here, at ₹4,990. Polarised lenses cut reflected glare off roads, water and glass, which a plain dark tint cannot do — it is the single upgrade worth paying for if you drive.

Scott prints this in the model number and then leaves you to work it out. Once you know the convention it is simple: SC3257PL is polarised, SC3240 is not. Across the brand's wider range you will see the same pattern on codes like SC2613PL and SC3108PL. Only a minority of Scott frames are polarised, so the suffix is a quick way to check before you buy.

A polarised lens uses a filter that blocks light bouncing off a flat surface at a shallow angle — the glare off a wet road, a car bonnet, a glass front or water. It is a different job from darkening, and a different job from blocking ultraviolet light. Worth knowing:

• If you drive a lot, polarised is the one to take. It is the clearest improvement you will notice, especially in the monsoon when every surface is wet.
• It is not the same as UV protection. They are separate properties, and a dark lens is not automatically either one.
• Phone and dashboard screens can go dark or patchy through a polarised lens at certain angles. That is normal and not a fault.
• You can test a pair in the shop. Hold them in front of a phone screen and rotate them ninety degrees. If the screen darkens dramatically, the lens is polarised.

⚠️ Ask us to confirm the lens specification of any particular frame before you order, including whether it is polarised and what UV protection it carries. We would rather check the frame in front of us than have you rely on a general statement.

How to choose Scott sunglasses

Start with the shape that suits your face, then check the lens width against a pair you already own, then decide whether you want polarised. Scott's range is broad enough that shape is a real choice here — there are square, aviator, round, oval, cat-eye, rectangle and hexagonal frames among the ten stocked.

By face shape

The useful principle is contrast: an angular frame brings definition to a rounder face, and a curved frame softens a strong, square jaw. Then proportion — the frame should be about as wide as the widest part of your face, no wider.

Getting the size right

Look inside the arm of a pair you already wear comfortably and you will find three numbers, like 57–14–140. They are lens width, bridge width and arm length in millimetres. Buy within a millimetre or two of those and the fit will be close. The frames here run from 51 mm to 57 mm at the lens, so there is a genuine spread — the narrow SC3221 Val at 51 mm and the wide SC3267 Sher at 57 mm are not interchangeable. This is the most common thing people get wrong when buying sunglasses unseen.

Frame material

Metal frames are the lightest and the dressiest, and six of the ten here are metal. Acetate has more presence and holds colour right through the material. Plastic is the lightest on the wallet. Our guide to frame materials explains how each one wears over time.

Scott sunglasses with power

Yes — most of these frames can take prescription lenses, which is the main reason to buy branded sunglasses from an optician rather than a marketplace. You can upload your prescription on the product page, or send it afterwards and we will confirm it with you before the lenses are made up. If you are not sure how to read it, our prescription guide walks through what each number means, and eye testing is done in the studios. ⚠️ Check with us for the specific frame and power before ordering — deeply curved frames have limits.

Why buy Scott sunglasses from Chashmish

Two things worry people about buying a mid-priced branded frame online: whether it is genuine, and what happens when a nose pad breaks eight months later. Both are fair, and both are answered here in writing rather than with a badge.

The honest argument for buying this brand in person is the fitting. The difference between a pair you wear every day and a pair that lives in a drawer is almost always whether the temples were set to your head, and that takes ten minutes at a counter. See find a studio for addresses, or book a fitting. If something goes wrong later, repairs and adjustments sets out what can usually be put right.

Where Scott sits in the Chashmish range

Scott is the accessible end of the range: a real brand, current shapes, and the lowest entry price of any label we carry. If you want to compare it against the houses, or you are after something at a different price, these are the collections to look at next.

• All sunglasses
• Idee
• Opium
• Polaroid
• Carrera
• Ray-Ban sunglasses
• Oakley sunglasses
• Coach
• Eyeglasses
• New arrivals

Scott also makes optical frames, and we stock those alongside the sunglasses — look under eyeglasses if you are after a Scott frame for everyday wear rather than sun. For polarised lenses across other brands, Polaroid is the obvious place to look next.

Scott sunglasses FAQs

What is the Scott sunglasses price in India?

Scott sunglasses generally cost between about ₹2,500 and ₹4,800 in India. At Chashmish the Scott frames in stock run from ₹2,399 to ₹4,990 for the polarised SC3257PL Noir. The lens is what moves the price most — polarised models cost more — followed by whether the frame is plastic, metal or acetate. ⚠️ Confirm the current price at checkout.

Is Scott a good brand, and which country is it from?

Scott is an Indian brand. It was launched in 2002 by Sterling Meta Plast India Private Limited, trading as Sterling-Skylark Optical, a Mumbai company that had already distributed eyewear in India since 1984. It is a genuine brand rather than an optician's house label, it is sold through opticians nationally, and it carries the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects.

Are Scott goggles the same as Scott sunglasses?

Yes. In Indian English, goggles commonly means sunglasses, and Indian retailers use the two words interchangeably. There is one source of confusion worth knowing: Scott Sports is a separate Swiss company that makes ski and motocross goggles. The two brands share a name and nothing else. Everything on this page is Scott Eyewear sunglasses.

What does PL mean in a Scott model number?

PL means the lens is polarised. SC3257PL Noir is polarised; SC3240 Dorian is not. Polarised lenses cut reflected glare from roads, water and glass, which an ordinary dark tint does not do. Only some Scott frames are polarised, so the PL suffix is the quickest way to check before you buy.

Are Scott sunglasses polarized?

Some are. Look for PL in the model number — the polarized frame stocked here is the SC3257PL Noir at ₹4,990. Polarisation is a separate property from UV protection and from how dark the lens looks, so a very dark lens is not automatically polarised. You can test any pair against a phone screen: rotate it ninety degrees and a polarised lens will darken the screen noticeably.

Can Scott sunglasses be made with power?

Most of them can. Upload your prescription on the product page, or send it later and we will confirm it with you before the lenses are made up. Eye testing is done in the studios — bring an existing prescription or have your eyes tested while you are there. ⚠️ Check with us for the specific frame and power first, because deeply curved frames have limits.

What is the Scott glasses price for optical frames?

Scott optical frames are cheaper than the sunglasses, and we stock those as well — look under eyeglasses rather than this page. Across the Indian market Scott frames typically run from around ₹1,800 upwards, against ₹2,399 to ₹4,990 for the sunglasses here. The model codes work the same way, and the same prescription service applies.

What size Scott sunglasses should I buy?

Use the three numbers printed inside the arm of a pair you already wear comfortably — lens width, bridge width and arm length in millimetres, like 57–14–140 — and buy within a millimetre or two. The frames here range from 51 mm to 57 mm at the lens, which is a real difference on the face. If you are unsure, bring your current pair into a studio and we will measure it.

How do I know a Scott pair is genuine?

Check the model code and colour code printed inside the arm, in the format SC plus four digits and a name, and make sure the box, case and papers match it. Buying from an optician rather than a marketplace reseller is the simpler safeguard. Every frame Chashmish sells is the brand's own article, never a copy.

What happens if a nose pad or hinge breaks later?

Bring the frame into any of our three Ahmedabad studios and we will look at it. Adjustments, resetting temples and replacing perished nose pads are routine counter work and we do not charge for them. Frames also carry the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects, which is separate from accidental damage or ordinary wear.
