Sustainable Sunglasses

On the hunt for sustainable sunglasses, it is important to remember that most conventional sunglasses are made with virgin plastics, and thus, not sustainable. 


Plastic is a petroleum-based substance, a resource which is non-renewable, it is also a product which cannot biodegrade, meaning even once we’ve snapped them and thrown them, they’ll never really go away. To top it off, they’re almost exclusively made by exploited workers, yet another reason to avoid them like the plague. 

Bamboo sunglasses made from ten carefully layered, cross-woven and forged together to create an incredibly durable and epically light piece. Bamboo is a sustainable resource when the objects it is made from stays in wood form. In addition to their environmental commitments, they have also partnered with Optometry Giving Sight so that each pair of sunglasses purchased to give the gift of vision to someone in need.
