"Waiting for the Sun" 100% Natural Wooden Sunglasses

For This Summer, Go Natural

Gabrielle Manimtim
The styles of sunglasses come and go. And out of the many eclectic and eccentric pairs you own, how many of those in your collection can you say are lightweight, simply fashioned for everyday wear... and 100% handcrafted from wood that can reduce the ecological footprint?

With the warmer weather rolling in, be prepared for the new and original sunglass design for the Spring and Summer 2010.

"Waiting for the Sun", a new French fashion design company, and French band Kulte launched information about their 1st model of their creative sunglasses line early March 2010. As Kulte tried going back to their roots with nature, this collaboration with "Waiting for the Sun" seemed like a natural move since both wanted to capture the essence of the Summer mood.

Now this isn't just your typical summer shades line. The main catch of the design is the fact that it's constructed purely of natural Teawood-- a renewable substance. Also, each pair is handcrafted, which provides a uniqueness to each pair sold. Therefore, they pitch a new creative line that is meant to offer both style and comfort, eco-friendliness and trendiness.

As featured styles in many European and vogue publications-such as Grazia, Madame Figaro, GQ, the French Elle Magazine, as well as several prolific online fashion forward blogs in the United States-these sunglasses are currently made in three distinct styles; all of which are offered in either light brown or black color so that the natural appearance of the pair is not compromised. The three styles include the fun and quirky "John Lennon" circular frames, the ever trendy large lensed "stunner shade" style, and the classic Ray Band-esque style. These designs are made with the maximum protection against all sun rays as well as ultra-violent ray protection level 3. All "Waiting for the Sun" sunglasses are also made from materials that are "tested and selected" and "submitted to strict quality checking" which guarantees not only aesthetic appeal but natural quality assurance.

On Waiting for the Sun's personal blog site, they encourage viewers to stay tuned because they have scheduled to have the online store functioning and accessible for buyers soon-almost as soon as next week.

One would think these fresh new sunglasses must be carrying a lot of weight and pressure in their attempts to appeal to the trendy and the eco-friendly alike. But it is designed and promoted quite craftily, all the while maintaining a lightweight comfort. Going natural this summer will never look so good.
