I am so excited to be a stockist of these AMAZING sunglasses! After being bought a pair of wooden sunglasses for Christmas I will never go back to 'normal' ones again! Bruno is no ordinary wood frame - reinforced with carbon-fibre, layered with Walnut Wood, with steel reinforced natural acetate ear tips, makes him an eco-force to be reckoned with. Walnut Wood is dark, dense and characteristic. Being a tightly grained timber, Walnut Wood is known for its strength. It's often used for solid furniture and firearms due its natural dense attributes. This handcrafted frame is layered with a carbon fibre centre, in both the spring loaded arms and the face, ensuring durability and additional strength to ensure a long lasting characteristic eyepiece to last years. The ear tips are fastened with steel strengthened natural bio-acetate, which is derived from corn and wood chippings, adding fit adjustments to an already eco-friendly frame. Fitting wise, Bruno's a fairly wide frame, to suit medium to large face sizes. MY FAVOURITE FEATURES Frame Material: Walnut Wood with Carbon Fibre, Plant-based acetate ear-tips Lenses Material: Polaroid Brand Name: BRUNO Lens Height: 51 Lenses Optical Attribute: Polarized,UV400,Anti-Reflective Lens Width: 51
How many pairs of sunglasses have you had over your lifetime? When the lenses scratch or the glasses break they end up in landfill which is not only wasteful, but they can potentially end up in the ocean, adding to the plastic problem on the planet. By thinking about everything you buy you can get something equally as stylish and practical without you eventually adding to the waste on this planet. I LOVE these bamboo sunglasses as when you're done with them, remove the lenses/pins and put the arms in your compost. WHY BAMBOO? Bamboo is the strongest and most sustainable plant in the world! It grows so fast, up to almost 1 meter a day for the fastest, that’s it’s the perfect sustainable option for the planet.
