Portland, Oregon-based sunglasses brand Shwood, known for its unique wooden eye frames, has added an unique new addition to its product line by using decorative stained glass.
The wayfarer-shaped 'Canby Select' frame has been given an attractive decorative stained glass makeover that elevates an already attractive piece of contemporary yet classic eyewear. Slightly translucent stained glass inlays richly colored in swirls of brown and tan have been added to an attractive dark ebony wood colored frame for an extra dash of sophistication and class using a two-tone design.
All made by hand in Portland, these sunglasses also feature polarized lenses, subtle metal accents and a contrasting wood color type on the inside of the frames. With a pair of these sophisticated shades, you'll have no problem blocking out the harsh rays while giving off your own personal vibe.
