Bamboo Sunglasses for Men

Bamboo Sunglasses from SunSmiles

So, you are looking for the perfect pair of Sunglasses?

We all experienced it: You arrive at your house after a nice hot summer day in the park or at the beach and unpack your bags. At that point you discover that you have lost your precious sunglasses, again! Or a you drop down on seat full impact, and forgot that your sunglasses were lying there? What a waste of money and so annoying.

I most certainly broke or lost over a dozen of expensive sunglasses myself, de that was until I found a solution. We were thinking about how nice it would be to have high quality sunglasses that are affordable. But affordable usually does not mean sustainable. That’s when the idea of using bamboo popped up. You want to know why we use bamboo?

Why is bamboo special and sustainable?

The legs of our sunglasses are made from bamboo. Bamboo is a plant that grows really fast and reaches full maturity in one season. It does not need a lot of space, water, or fertilizer to grow, and that makes it a perfect material for producing various sustainable products from it. Since bamboo is such a sustainable material, big brands around the world are increasingly turning to bamboo for manufacturing.

Since bamboo is such an affordable material because of the minimal need for care, space, or nutrients, it’s our number one choice. And there's no scarcity of it either, since it grows so fast. This helps our brand to provide an affordable option for designer sunglasses while being sustainable at the same time.

Creating affordable polarized sunglasses

We went looking for brands that already sold bamboo eyewear but discovered there was not much to our taste. Most of the models we saw were a bit boring and lacked color. That’s when we decided that we should develop high quality polarized sunglasses that are both stylish and affordable ourselves.

We noticed we received a lot of questions about them when we wore them to a party or the beach. People asked if they could try them, liked them a lot, and were very surprised when we mentioned the price to them. They came to our shop the next day and it turned out to be an instant hit in the Caribbean (where we live and work). SunSmiles Sunglasses are now spreading around the globe at a fast rate. How awesome! High quality polarized sunglasses do not need to be expensive. Are they cheap? Most certainly! But we prefer to call them high quality affordable sunglasses.

So how about that UV400 protection?

With SunSmiles Sunglasses, no day will be too bright for your eyes. You are prepared for an endless summer! And not just that, all our lenses are also equipped with a UV400 protection to protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV radiation. Safe and sunny!

Grey or brown lenses? It’s up to you

Blue skies and a bright sun? The grey lenses could be your weapon of choice. Woke up on a cloudy day? No worries, when you have a pair of SunSmiles within reach! When wearing our glasses with brown lenses even grey day turns into sunny event, creating instant happiness!

What color of lenses do you pick? It all depends on your personal preferences. Some like the lenses a bit darker, while others prefer to have the brown filter. But hey, since they are so affordable, why not have both options?

Quality and style

Bamboo eyewear is affordable, stylish, and practical, all at once. You can buy them for a sharp price, look stunning while wearing them, and use them on multiple occasions with the perfect grace. They're easy to carry around and have strong legs. Strength is another great aspect of bamboo!

At SunSmiles, we care for quality. We know that owning a good pair of sunglasses is a necessity nowadays, and we want you to reap all the benefits of a designer quality piece with none of the expenses. If a product contributes to a more sustainable world, we think everyone should be able to use it and have access to it - and that's just what we're aiming for with our products.

Sunglasses are an accessory that almost every man owns. They lend you style, and at the same time, protect your eyes from the sun. It's definitely something worth of your investment, and a rather small investment when you buy SunSmiles.

What are the benefits of our bamboo sunglasses?

• Lightweight: Some brands of sunglasses can cause discomfort around the eyes and nose and bite into the skin because they are quite heavy. And no one likes to carry to much weight on their face. Bamboo eyewear is very lightweight to wear. It's almost like they disappear when you wear them. They blend in seamlessly without causing any discomfort, marks or an uneasy feeling.

• Long-lasting: If you are concerned your sunglasses might break, there’s no need to worry. Bamboo is very strong, ever seen a panda bear swing on it? It’s also durable and fast growing and therefore the perfect material for sunglasses. It does not easily snap, even when handled roughly, so you don't need to worry much about wear and tear.

• Sustainable: We try using sustainable and durable materials over cheap plastic (and likely we see that more and more around the globe). Whenever you choose a more sustainable material like bamboo arm sunglasses over plastic arms, you are playing a part in creating a cleaner future for all of us.

• Complete UV400 protection: The harmful UV rays shouldn't keep you from having some fun out in the sun. UV rays are harmful, as you might already know. Exposing your eyes and skin to direct sunlight without using the protection from sunglasses and sunscreen can have harmful effects. The good news is that we produced these polarized sunglasses with an UV400 filter to protect your eyes from the harmful rays. You can rest assured that these glasses will keep your eyes safe, while you enjoy your time outdoors. 

• Clarity of vision: Our collection of men’s sunglasses equipped with special polarized lenses provides a clear vision for the wearer by reducing the glare that sunlight often produces. So, whether you're driving at high speed, or are relaxing at a picnic, you want those lenses right on top of your nose. All the time.

• Style symbol: Bamboo eyewear is definitely on the list of trend-setting accessories. They are a symbol of elegance, style, sustainability and charisma. These timeless accessories are here to stay, and you definitely want a couple of colors for all your occasions. These bad boys will help you make a statement wherever you go.

• Cheap: These are designer quality sunglasses at extraordinary low prices. You are paying for your sunglasses at SunSmiles and not for our marketing and branding. We like to keep it real.

• Easy to clean: Spending time on the beach means your sunglasses will be exposed to water for most of the time. Chances are you may end up accidentally dropping your glasses in the water. But the best thing about our classic sunglasses is that they are easy to clean.

• Style and color options: As mentioned above, bamboo is lightweight. But what makes it stand out from other wood is its unique beach vibe and texture. It is a good idea to buy different colors of sunglasses for different activities, such as a colorful pair for outdoors and a black one for formal events. We also have red, pink, white, blue and green polarized sunglasses but I personally really like our tortoise sunglasses. It’s something different for sure.

With so many benefits of these eco sunglasses, you need to own a pair, right? These are going to be your new practical yet chic travel companions. The sooner you join the affordable sunglass movement, the better.

Where to wear your bamboo sunglasses?

There is a myriad of occasions and places where you can wear your classic eyewear. As NAS would say: ‘The world is yours’ and no matter where you go, your trusty bamboos will keep your eyes protected and your vision clear (not to be mistaken for a clear mind ;)

• Seaside sport event: Fun in the sun has no better imagery than people in trunks playing some beach volleyball on a white sandy beach surrounded by palm trees. That just screams summer. And summer means wearing bamboo arm sunglasses. So, what better to wear than a pair of sunglasses that show incredible value for money?
• During a festival: If you're planning to go to a festival, be sure to buy some colorful sunglasses first! Be sure to not miss out on your favorite band because the sun is to bright. A bit hungover after the first festival nights? No problem just put on your festival sunglasses and you will look funky fresh instantly!
• Outdoor wedding: Whether you're a guest or the groom, you probably want to wear eye protection during a wedding outside. Direct sunlight can get pretty harsh. You need to protect yourself from the UV rays, and your sunglasses with UV400 filters are going to be your savior.
• A BBQ party: It is a good idea to wear your glasses to a BBQ since the party is generally organized outdoors and while you can get drunk a chicken skewer might end up in your eye…which is something you want to avoid at all costs. Wear sunglasses and your eyes are protected!
• While driving: We all love to go on long drives every now and then. But do you know that not wearing sunglasses during your trip can create dangerous situations? You get blinded by the light and hit the break to late or even worse, you run of the road and flip over. Also, something you want to avoid! These glasses will keep you safe while you enjoy your road trips.
• During a holiday: While our sunglasses are ideal for vacations year-round, they are best for summer vacations since you'll be exposed to more sunlight (and hopefully stunning sunsets) during this time. Whether you want to go hiking or stay on a camp side, your wayfarer sunglasses will be your best companion.

Had any other place in mind? Sure, go ahead. Our sunglasses are the right choice anywhere, anytime. So, stand out from the crowd with your SunSmiles Shades - your companion wherever you want to wander.
