Why You'll Wear These Every Day
Glare Off
Polarized UV400 lenses cut reflected light on water, sand, and pavement.
Plant-Based
Bio-acetate from renewable sources. No petroleum plastics.
Real Wood
A grain pattern no other pair repeats. Yours is one of one.
All-Day Light
Spring hinges flex with your face. Comfortable from coffee to sunset.
California Made For It
Designed in San Diego and tested under the same sun you'll wear it in.
Plant-based acetate up front. Real wood at the temples.
The acetate carries the color and the wood carries the character. No two pairs come out of the shop the same.
California light is brutal. These aren't bothered.
Sun bouncing off the ocean, the sand, and the pavement all at once. Polarized lenses keep your eyes relaxed through all of it.
Materials That Earn Their Place
Plant-Based Bio-Acetate
Made from renewable raw materials instead of petroleum. Hypoallergenic on your skin and biodegradable at end of life.
Real Wood
Hand-sanded and sealed. Light on your ears, warm to look at, and one-of-a-kind grain on every pair.
Polarized UV400 Lenses
Full UVA and UVB protection with a polarizing filter that kills reflected glare off water, sand, and pavement.
Flexible Spring Hinges
The temples flex outward and come back. They will not pinch your head, and they will not snap in your bag.
Why wood, and what to expect
Weight
Reviewers' most repeated word is "lightweight". Layered wood temples weigh about what a plastic frame does, with no pinch from the spring hinge.
Lenses
Polarized UV400 on every pair: 100% UVA and UVB blocked, glare off water, sand and pavement cut. Same lens spec on the $39 and the $170 frames.
Care
Rinse with fresh water after the beach and dry them. Store in the pouch. Do not leave them on a hot dashboard; wood and sealant do not like 150 degree heat.
If they break or get lost
Any factory defect: fixed free in the first 90 days, and that never voids the Lifetime Warranty. The Lifetime Warranty is a $4.65 add-on in the cart: lose them, break them or want a different style, and the replacement is 75% off, for life.
If they do not suit you
30 days to exchange for any other style, sale pairs included, and we cover the exchange shipping. Returns within 30 days minus a $5 restock fee.
Who makes them
A small family brand in San Diego. Frames are cut, layered and sealed by hand, so no two grain patterns match. A person answers email within 1 business day.
