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.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
