Woodies Walnut Wood Sunglasses with Polarized Lens for Men and Women

Product Information

It still allows you to see the grain of the wood underneath, resulting in a unique style that combines the ruggedness of wood with a fun pop of color. PRO TIP: If you visit a Chinese factory, ask politely to the use the bathroom. They will have to oblige, and if you find a really messy, disgusting bathroom, then it’s definitely a red flag. To validate this idea, Mike flew from China with a bag full of watches. I was living in Austin at the time and we went to a party brunch to try to sell some watches. I gave one watch to each of the bartenders for free, then we waited. It combines a metallic frame with wood-lined lenses, and is available in both walnut wood and zebra wood.

Bamboo is a popular type of wood for wooden shades because it’s the fastest growing plant in the world, making it one of the most affordable and sustainable materials to use. Hartley - this 80s inspired retro wayfarer design also combines wooden frames (sustainably sourced birch wood) with multi-coloured, mirrored lenses, making them a unique choice that fits in perfectly with the trend this summer. In addition to the unique combo of materials, what I like about this pair are the small details that help it stand out: As long as you don’t scratch the surface, or you damage and peel off the polarizing film covering the lenses, you shouldn’t notice any changes.

Shipments and returns

You can rest assured that if Stark bequeathed these to Peter Parker, Jake Gyllenhaal would be stealing ’em. (Did I mention that I’m, like, really into the Marvel movies?) The 6 models have deliciously (and slightly obscure) British names - Alfie, Murphy, Riley, Ollie, Monty, and Hartley. Adding polarization to a pair of regular sunglasses can be expensive, and sometimes the results aren’t that good. That’s because when sunglasses are made, the polarizing filter is made to precisely fit the lens and its specifications. I just went to China and found three suppliers on Alibaba. I toured each factory and chose the one I felt the best about.

Side note, I’m getting sued by Luxxottica for a BS trademark infringement. So the entire business is being threatened by them. Through starting the business, have you learned anything particularly helpful or advantageous?

Customer reviews

Unfortunately, while the sheer quantity of wood frame sunglasses has been exploding at a crazy clip, the quality of these shades varies pretty wildly.
