Vision Quest | Shwood: Made From The Ocean

Shwood is all about premium, hand-crafted sunglasses made from sustainable materials, with advanced technology and attention to detail. While we’ve always been a fan of these impressive shades, there’s a whole new reason to become a customer.

The Stabilized Series No. 2 features a collection made from the ocean. But what does that mean? Sustainably sourced seashells were found, and put to amazing use by using high-pressure resin casting and a hand-made processing technique to take these elements and make them into man-made art.

The Sea Collection features four unique silhouettes, with versatile fits, that are sure to look good on any face. Plus who would mind the conversation starter that these frames are sure to be. If  you were wondering where the designers got their inspiration from, it was obviously the beautiful, and majestic ocean, and it was all captured in this amazing video.

Canby Seashell Inlay

The Canby Seashell Inlay, $229, feature frames made of domestic walnut, with an inlay of sustainably found shells, and polarized lenses.

McKenzie Titanium

The McKenzie Titanium, $189, are made with turquoise titanium and polished acetate. The lenses, available in grey fade or grey fade polarized, offer 100% UVA/UVB protection, and have superior clarity.

Bailey Acetate

Perfect for your girlfriend, the Bailey Acetate, $129, has round, exaggerated lenses. The majority of the frame is fabricated with premium acetate, but look closely on the arms, and you will find rich wood inlay between the temple and the ear piece.

Canby Seashell

These premium hardwood & acetate frames feature birch core construction for strength, with Japanese polarized lenses. The Canby Seashell sunnies are literally crafted from the ocean floor. Sustainably found seashells are transformed into one-of-a-kind wearable art. All for just $295.
