wish-shwood-sunglasses-3

I know it’s winter, and sunglasses are probably the last thing on anyone’s mind. But, with the great stuff coming out of the Portland-based company Shwood, perhaps it’s time you took another look.

With all of Shwood’s glasses being made from natural materials, the entire product line is “an endeavor to create a product that encompasses the individuality and uniqueness that can only be found in natural surroundings.” By blending fashion-forward styles with the natural environment, Shwood has created something truly unique.

All the woods used are sustainably-harvested and taken from authorized and supervised plantations around the globe. For each pair, the lumber is hand-selected “to ensure rich tones and attractive grain patterns.” In addition to environmentally-responsible sourcing of materials, every pair of sunglasses is made in-house in Portland, OR.


Because a pair of sunglasses is only as good as its lenses, Shwood exclusively uses CR-39 or polarized lenses from Carl Zeiss Vision. Started in 1846, Carl Zeiss Vision has been producing high-quality lenses and equipment longer than just about anyone in the business. By using only the best, Shwood is able to maintain quality control across all its product lines, ensuring that you, the consumer, receive nothing but the best in both optical quality and eye protection.

Granite Chief is pleased to be carrying a wide range of Shwood sunglasses, and you can check them out here. Or, of course, come on into the store and try them out for yourself.
