Woodies Walnut Wood Sunglasses with Polarized Lens for Men and Women

Product Information

Handcrafted from sustainable materials that combine our classic styles with a playful twist, our wooden frames are individually handmade from unique cuts of sustainably sourced wood to create a look and feel that simply cannot be replicated in plastic form." Riley - this 60s Aviator inspired design is also made from zebrano wood, but the smooth, rounded edges give them a softer look. This pair is clearly modelled off the shape of the Original Wayfarer, which was slightly more square than the more modern New Wayfarer update, and looks great on just about any face shape. Woodies is one of the more popular bamboo sunglasses brands, but this hybrid model provides a different look:

They boast a clear frame, which is very popular at the moment, polarized anti-reflective lenses that are also UV-protected, and their signature wood temples, which are handmade from real walnut wood. 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? I read the 4-Hour Workweek many many years ago and it really set my thinking from day one. I just wanted to be really really good at one thing, and that’s what happened with my best selling product. I was able to ‘set’ the market. Choosing a pair of sunglasses can be a confusing journey. With so many shapes, brands, and styles out there, there’s something for everybody. And with such a vast array of options to choose from, making the right choice is often hard. But there’s one question that always comes to mind - should you go with polarized or non-polarized lenses ?Alfie - A unisex, wood (dark bamboo) and acetate design that mimics the classic wayfarer style, but with an edge because of the combination of materials. Not only are the frames sustainable and handcrafted, they also understand that comfort and eye protection are both very important. The lenses of Woodsies sunglasses are UV protected and polarised, and they use flexible stainless steel hinges for durability. These plastic Wayfarer-style shades from Ray Solée look a little less convincing than some of the other cheaters listed above.

This is one of the few “cheat” pairs on this list, meaning that the frame isn’t actually wood at all – it’s a plastic frame that’s designed to look like wood. Because of the way the light is filtered, polarized sunglasses can increase clarity and color when you’re outside, even making the views more enjoyable. Having less light reaching your eyes, however, means that visibility in gloomy weather will be limited with polarized lenses.The result is a pair of wood frames that’s based on one of the most classic sunglass styles of all time, but feels totally fresh and unique. Ollie - another combination of wood and acetate in a wayfarer style design. The contrast between the bamboo wood and white acetate gives them a very distinctive look that will definitely get you noticed. Granted, there are a lot of disgusting bathrooms all over China. But these factories have millions of dollars worth of machinery, if they can’t put together a decent bathroom for their workers, then they are probably corner-cutters. Believe in yourself and just keep going no matter what. Of all the friends who started a business at the same time I did, almost all of them are still in business and doing really well. If you just stay in business, you almost can’t help but grow. It combines a metallic frame with wood-lined lenses, and is available in both walnut wood and zebra wood.

Different styles of sunglasses give off different vibes, and a pair of wooden sunglasses usually makes the wearer look more casual.

Customer reviews

A lot of the wooden frames on this list are modelled after Ray-Ban’s classic Clubmaster design, but why settle for an imitation when you can have the original? I absolutely love the way these sunglasses fit my face. (I gravitate toward larger frames, so these are the perfect size for me.) They’re designed in a square silhouette with silver details at the temples and Woodies' signature wooden arms. According to the brand, each pair features different striations in the wood, making them unique to every buyer. The lenses are also polarized and offer 100% UVA and UVB protection (says the brand) — a detail I love, since I live in always-sunny Los Angeles and am constantly looking for ways to protect myself against harmful ultraviolet rays.
