Women's Sunglasses: Bio-Acetate Frames with Wood Temples
Every pair in this collection pairs a bio-acetate frame with real wood temples in ebony, rosewood, zebrawood or maple. Bio-acetate is made from cotton fibers and wood pulp rather than standard petroleum-based plastic, which is why the frames feel lighter and age differently than typical sunglasses. The Sydney's cat-eye shape and the Paloma's smaller round frame are two of the most distinct silhouettes in the line, each pairing acetate with a different wood temple finish.
Built for Daily Wear
Every pair ships with TAC polarized lenses rated UV400, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. Stainless steel spring hinges adjust to different face widths, which is the main reason these frames stay comfortable through a full day of wear rather than pinching after a few hours. Whether the use case is a daily commute or a weekend outdoors, the lens and hinge specifications stay the same across every model in the range.
Choosing the Right Shape
Frame shape interacts with face shape more than most people expect. A cat-eye frame like the Sydney tends to suit oval, heart and square face shapes, where the lifted outer corners add balance without competing with the jawline. A smaller round frame like the Paloma works well for those who prefer a lighter, less dominant frame on the face. The size guide gives exact frame width measurements for each model, which is a more reliable way to judge fit than a product photo alone.
Women's Sunglasses: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes bio-acetate different from standard plastic frames?
Bio-acetate uses plant-based plasticizers made from cotton and wood pulp, instead of the petroleum-based plasticizers used in standard acetate and plastic frames. This reduces reliance on virgin fossil fuel and allows the material to break down faster than conventional plastic, though it is not a fully biodegradable material on its own.
How do I choose the right frame shape for my face?
As a general guideline, cat-eye frames tend to suit oval, heart and square face shapes well, since the lifted outer corners add balance. Rounder faces often work well with a smaller, more angular frame. These are starting points rather than fixed rules, so trying a pair on, or checking the size guide against your own measurements, is the most reliable way to judge fit.
Are polarized lenses actually better than standard tinted lenses?
Polarization filters out horizontally reflected light, which is what causes glare off water, wet pavement and car windshields. A standard tinted lens without polarization reduces overall brightness but does not filter that reflected glare, so two lenses of the same darkness can perform very differently in bright outdoor conditions.
Will the wood temples feel heavy?
No, the opposite. Wood is naturally lighter than metal and most standard acetate hardware, so wood temples tend to sit more comfortably during long wear than heavier alternatives. The tradeoff is that wood needs a bit more care around heat exposure than metal or plastic does.
What's included when I order a pair?
Every pair ships in a rigid eco case with a microfiber cleaning cloth, in packaging made from recycled materials. Each pair also carries a one year warranty.
Can I return sunglasses if the fit isn't right?
Yes. Full details on the return window and process are on the shipping and returns page, since sunglasses are one of the few accessories that are genuinely hard to judge from a photo alone.
