Founded by a group of friends and surfer enthusiasts in Byron Bay, Australia, GROWN creates fantastic wooden shades made out of eco-friendly material.
The fashionable sunglasses are made out of bamboo and hardwoods, for example, Du Lei and Zebrawood. All of the materials that are used in the production of the sunglasses are renewable, organic and toxic-free.
GROWN sunglasses are more than just a great way to support the green fashion; they help improve the livelihood of people suffering from eyesight-related injuries or diseases. Every pair of GROWN sunglasses sold goes towards either paying for sight-restoring surgery or eye examinations for 12 children. It's one thing to look good while protecting one's eyes from the sun, it's another thing entirely to do that while simultaneously helping those who cannot take sight for granted.
