EYE STYLES

Eco-Friendly Eyewear & Sunwear

Eyeking

All styles in the Crocs™ Eyewear adult collection include eco-friendly polarized lenses. Crocs Eyewear’s polarized lenses are made using cellulose, the most common, organic compound on earth. Cellulose is a natural resource and is extremely renewable. www.eyeking.com

Eco by Modo

These design-forward frames are made from 95% recycled plastic and hypoallergenic/non toxic stainless steel. The collection is certified recycled by UL Environment (ULE), case is made from recycled PET, and for every pair sold, a tree is planted with a community through Trees for the Future and Mezimbite Forest Centre. Unwanted frames can also be mailed back in the recycled packaging to the OneSight Charity. www.modobiz.com

Rolf Spectacles

The model “Primus” is available in four different wood combinations – bog oak, bog oak/maple/bog oak, oak and robinie steamed. The unique wood combination combined with ROLF innovation means that each frame is a one-kind piece of eyewear. www.rolf-spectacles.com

DRIFT Eyewear

DRIFT Eyewear turned heads last year with their Timber Collection and the introduction of reclaimed wood to eyewear. This Chicago-made brand will continue to push the eco-envelope this spring by incorporating Mazzucchelli M49 bioplastic, groundbreaking designs, and an evolution of their classic meets modern appeal. www.drifteyewear.com

Blue Planet Eyewear

Blue Planet Eyewear is a line of sunglasses and reading glasses for today’s eco-conscious consumer featuring recycled or reclaimed materials and first quality lenses. The manufacturing process includes non-toxic finishes that are lead free and nickel free. All products are shipped with eco-friendly recycled hangtags and packaging plus reclaimed wood display units complete the package. www.blueplaneteyewear.com

A-Look Optics

Tony Morgan Eco-Sheek A3208 is perfect for men and women who seek eco-friendly eyewear in a trendy, retro design. The frame features an acetate front with wood temples and spring hinges. Available in size: 53-17-145. www.alookoptics.com

ICU Eyewear

Featured is the eco-friendly metal hinged oval bamboo reader in Lime Green. Also comes in Dark Brown if you prefer something a little more subdued. They are handcrafted and a perfect shape for any face. www.icueyewear.com

Kenmark

The Timex - T261 is made from a biodegradable acetate, which is created from renewable natural resources: cotton lintels, wood pulp and a non petroleum based plasticizer - the latter being the "eco-friendly ingredient" that differentiates this material / frame from others. The plastic will also fully decompose in the same amount of time it takes a leaf to biodegrade in soil. www.kenmarkoptical.com

Wooden Specs

Wooden Specs stop an artistic, style-conscious clientele in its tracks. Design elements (earth-toned paints, wood-burned designs, mother-of-pearl inlay) and handmade details (remarkable steam-bent curves, handmade brass hinges) impart value well beyond the frames' unique, natural material. Styles in the collection cover a range of sizes and are designed for reasonable durability, repairability, adjustability and glazing. www.woodenspecs.com

Gold & Wood

The new B20 sunglasses for women from Gold & Wood are made from a mixture of refined materials and influences: made of precious, contemporary ideas of Gold &Wood, and sophisticated glamour from the elegant and feminine 50's. Based on hand-crafted marquetry decors, the temples are made of mixed precious woods from sophisticated patterns. www.gold-and-wood.com

Luxottica

The Stella McCartney’s eco-friendly eyewear collection features injected bio-plastic made from 54% castor-oil seeds, a renewable resource that helps limit the exploitation of petroleum. SM3009 is a round oversized shape that features a steel frame and an ultra-feminine profile with thin temples on a step design. The recognizable yet subtle Stella logo is applied on the temples. www.luxottica.com

iwood ecodesign

All frames are made from luxurious veneers reclaimed from business jet interior jobs. The veneers are "micro laminated" to 9 layers for strength using formaldehyde-free glues. A hand-applied protective coating emitting no VOC's is added for durability. Temples are stainless steel imported from Italy. All frames can be Rx and all species of woods are FSC certified. www.iwoodecodesign.com

Sires Eyewear

Sire's Crown - Using innovative technology to create one of a kind functional wearable art. We are taking part in a growing demand that requires less cookie cutter manufacturing and more handcrafted individualism. Our frames are comprised of reclaimed, sustainable, and FSC woods. www.sireseyewear.com
