Wooden Sunglasses

What are wooden sunglasses made of?

Wooden sunglasses are eyewear frames built from real wood rather than plastic or printed veneer. Kraywoods wooden sunglasses are crafted from sustainably sourced walnut, ebony, zebrawood, teak, rosewood, burl wood, and sandalwood. Many designs blend wood with bio-acetate or eco-conscious metal at the hinges and bridge for added strength, while keeping the wood as the visible identity of the frame.

Are wooden sunglasses durable compared to plastic?

Wooden sunglasses are more durable than most plastic frames when crafted properly. Hardwoods like ebony, walnut, and zebrawood are dense and resistant to warping, and Kraywoods designs reinforce the wood with bio-acetate or metal at the hinges and bridge — the points that typically fail on cheaper plastic frames. Every pair is backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.

Are wooden sunglasses lightweight?

Yes. Wooden sunglasses are surprisingly light, often lighter than acetate frames of the same size. Wood is a low-density material, and our frames are precision-shaped to sit comfortably on the bridge and ears without pressure points. Many wearers find them lighter and more comfortable than the metal or plastic frames they replace.

Are wooden sunglasses polarized?

Yes. Every pair of Kraywoods wooden sunglasses comes with polarized lenses as standard. Polarized lenses cut glare from reflective surfaces like roads, water, and snow, sharpen contrast, and reduce eye strain in bright conditions. They are especially valuable for driving, beach days, and time outdoors.

Do wooden sunglasses have UV protection?

Yes. All Kraywoods wooden sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, meeting full UV400 protection standards. UV protection is built into the lens itself, not a coating that wears off, so every pair safeguards your eyes from long-term sun damage from the moment you put them on.

Are wooden sunglasses sustainable?

Wooden sunglasses are a more sustainable choice than mass-produced plastic frames. Our wood is sustainably sourced and paired with bio-acetate (a plant-based alternative to conventional acetate) and eco-conscious metals where reinforcement is needed. For every pair sold, one tree is planted in Kenya through our One Tree Planted partnership.

Can I get prescription lenses in wooden frames?

Prescription lenses are available on Kraywoods wooden sunglasses with acetate fronts and wooden temples, not on full-wood frames. To order, browse the wood sunglasses collection and look for frames with the "Select Rx" button on the product page. Choose your lens type (single vision or progressive), tint, lens colour, and protection at checkout, and every order is reviewed by our certified in-house optician before production.

Which wood is the most versatile for sunglasses?

Ebony is the most versatile wood for sunglasses. Its deep, dark grain reads almost black at first glance, which lets it pair with nearly any outfit and occasion, much like a classic black acetate frame. Walnut is the second most versatile, offering a warmer mid-brown tone that flatters most skin tones. Zebrawood and rosewood lean more distinctive — stronger style statements with bolder grain patterns.

How should I care for wooden sunglasses?

Use the microfiber cloth and hard case that come with every Kraywoods order. Wipe lenses with a mild lens cleaner or warm water, and avoid alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cloths that can dull the wood finish. Rinse frames with clean water after salt or chlorine exposure, and avoid leaving them in a hot car, which can warp wood over time.

Are wooden sunglasses worth the price?

Wooden sunglasses are worth it if you want eyewear that feels distinct, sits lightweight on the face, and lasts. Each pair has a unique grain you cannot replicate, polarized lenses with 100% UV protection are standard, and frames are built to outlast trend cycles. Kraywoods sunglasses are priced for premium materials and lens technology, not designer logos.
