Wooden Sunglasses

[Boordy]

Hi Guys,

One day this festival, there was a stall selling Wooden Sunglasses, 89 pounds a pair (I think), which i couldnt afford out of my glasto budget, However i really really liked them. Would like to see if i could find the seller online somewhere or something. The problem being i dont actually remember the location, or the stall name.

I Seem to remember them being made out of skateboards? (I was very wasted) They also had phone cases in the middle, also made out of wood.

Any Help Appreciated.

And whether or not that's the seller, the location was walking between William's Green and the circus tent if I remember correctly?

Fk that m8, go the park, source your own wood and build your own.

I looked at this stall, 95% sure it was called Moat-House.

They did look good, just very expensive

As a town councillor, I cannot condone chopping down trees in your local park just to make some 'cool and trendy' sunglasses. Go to your next town and chop down their trees.

They're Woodstylz.  I considered buying a pair too but too good to buy at a festival when I'm most likely to sit on them or lose them.

And they seemed a lot cheaper at Glasto than they do on that website.  Kinda wish I'd bought a pair now

[hurdy]

Moat House were near Williams Green. Can't remember what price they were selling but as previously noted they're a lot more than £89 on their website... 

[BrokenDown]

They were at least two stalls of different makes, I think you mean the Woodstylz ones who I think are Dutch, (stall on the drag from pyramid to other stage) I have a pair and think they are great quality sunglasses, mine were £49 (bought last year)I think they sold ones with different types of wood and also some made out of stone for £89. The other half got some this year, we deliberately didn't buy them online in advance as I was positive they were significantly cheaper at Glastonbury and I was right. 

 

As others have said, there was also a different company to the right of Williams Green, and a bamboo products shop on the run from Williams Green to the circus, and also a shop that sold stuff specifically made out of recycled skateboards, also on the way to the circus, sorry I didn't clock the names of these other 3 companies.

My mum got a bargain from that stall on the wednesday! They had seconds stock where the logo was on the wrong arm or something equally silly and were almost giving them away! £20 she paid!

The skateboard company is called SESH (www.ihavesesh.co.uk), saw them at Download a few weeks ago as well and got chatting to them.  They sell some lovely stuff, and it's just the one guy that actually makes it so they don't have a huge product turnover and everything's individual.  Really nice stuff.

Maybe one of these at £6.98 with free shipping would suit?

Evening Yog, I got a pair just like the ones in your pic for free when I bought a pint of Kilkenny in an Irish bar in Barcelona earlier this year. They do have " Kilkenny " written along the side but I like them and managed not to lose them at a couple of festivals this year. I looked to see if I could find a picture on google for comparison but no luck. I think free is the correct price for sunglasses as I always lose or sit on them.

Hello comfortablynumb1910

Free is a good price for sun glasses. I don't wear sun glasses to walk around in but would like a pair for driving in sunshine with. I actually found a pair recently that were really cheap quality and had Southern Comfort written on them. I thought to myself that as I don't give a shit what I look like they'd be ideal for driving in sunshine. Then I lost them almost immediately.

I've no affiliation, French website selling cut price wooden sunglasses. Ethically produced hardwoods apparently.

No Video, no comment, just cut price wooden sunglasses.

That's ethically sourced rather than ethically produced.

I am very lucky in both the well and the happy departments, thank you. I do not wear wooden sunglasses though.

Nor do I. I would though  (for driving in sunlight) if I found some and had no way of getting them back to the last wearer of said glasses.
