Wooden Sunglasses


Boordy

Recommended Posts

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.

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 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.

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.

I'm liking the look of the cases but not the PRICE of the cases! DAMN!

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

And for the glasses, what about these at £17.77 with free shipping;

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.

    • World Cup 2026: What is happening with ticket prices? - BBC Sport   Sounds like Infantino has been learning from his buddy if he's running around claiming its all sold out while quietly dumping tickets below face on assorted secondary websites.
    • Mac DeMarco also cancelled 
    • I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
    • Out of interest keep seeing messages saying last 12 hours etc… to buy you full weekend tickets.  Whats that about? Do they take them off sale early?
