Wooden sunglasses Twiga
Wooden sunglasses Twiga from Shadeshares
These classic wooden sunglasses flatter almost every face shape. They remind us of shapes worn by Audrey Hepburn in the early ´60s. The rounded D-frames pair well with smart tailoring and breezy summer dresses. The colour of these wooden sunglasses is called chestnut, but looks almost black.
A fun and practical fact is that these shades come in a foldable protective pouch, which can be folded completely flat, when the sunglasses are out. Additionally the shades are made of sustainable birch veneer. And last but not least, these cool shades are produced with love and care in a social project in Kenya: the SOS Childrens village in Nairobi.
Material:
- 100% Finnish birch veneer (wood)
- polarized 400k UV protected lenses
- Protective pouch made of cork
