Material
When we say we test wood materials thoroughly, we really mean it. Our products are made only from species that can withstand overtime use. All natural materials we use come from sustainable and responsible sources.
Below you will soon find a list with more information regarding the materials we have chosen to work with.
Walnut is a very beautiful, dark, and durable wood. It is suitable for bending and relatively easy to work with, which makes it a good material for frames for glasses. Walnut can have a slightly violet tone and when exposed to the sun, the heartwood color fades over time. Your sunglasses live with you! Stylish Monroe Made in Walnut.
SandalwoodSandalwood is often found in fine woodwork and is sometimes used as incense or in perfumes. This type of wood is sometimes used in medicine. Whether you will be healthier from our products or not we leave unsaid, but the style, it is impeccable!
EbenholtEbony wood is a very strong wood, which is why it was previously used as the black keys on a piano. Its hardness and black tone will fit beautifully into your Vidi a hot summer day!
Rose treeThe red rosewood is easily recognizable by its color, which looks wonderful in a pair of sunglasses. Rosewood is also strong and durable and is often used in the manufacture of guitars thanks to these properties.
TeakThe yellow-brown tone of teak gradually changes with the sun's rays and acquires an intense reddish-brown color over time. Teak is a brilliant material for making sunglasses and we at Wear Walters love the combination of Teak and Ebony wood in Mire.
BambooBamboo is a very fast-growing wood, it absorbs more carbon dioxide and produces more oxygen faster than other types of wood, making bamboo one of the most sustainable types of wood to use. The fashion industry has also embraced this and today you can even find socks and sweaters made from bamboo - but of course also a selection of our sunglasses!
IDue to its hardness and toughness, oak is often used for flooring and joinery in exposed environments. Oak is also one of the most durable types of wood and is resistant to moisture.
Please treat yours Wooden sunglasses with wood oil once a year to maintain the luster and shine of the wood.
Bio AcetateAcetate is a fiber based on cellulose. It is a natural fiber, which makes it more environmentally friendly than, for example, plastic, which might otherwise have been used in our sunglasses. Acetate also looks really nice in combination with wood - what do you say about WA01, for example?!
