The morning jog on the beach has just become more eco-friendly. The new Wayfarer sunglasses by Joplins, are made from lightweight and floatable bamboo fibers. They are nearing their production date on Indiegogo, and everyone is invited to share and join in this initiative to spread positive vibes all around. Super light and strong, for life.
These sunglasses should quickly make RayBans come out of fashion: the only Wayfarers we should all be wearing, Joplins’ handmade sunnies from Bamboo.
The Wayfarers by Joplins are so light and soft and in truth, once you eliminate common household products (like the chemicals in your cosmetics or the plastic in your shades) from your lifestyle regime, with time you become completely intolerant to them.
Wearing the fastest growing plant on the planet on our faces should be an up and foremost trend this SS18. Thank you Joplins for your sustainable business and design. Keep up the great work!
Hi @haseeb, thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear you've had that experience. I agree that wood or bamboo can break, but also acetate can break and polycarbonate can bend or get deformed. It all depends on the care that you take with your sunglasses, sunglasses are an accessory that should be always taken good care, especially because of the lenses.
Regarding breakage, I'd say it is almost the same. The Joplins just have more advantages, including being very lightweight on the face, to float on the water, double flexed hinges and being ecological.
Hello Everyone, my name is Bernardo and I am working on this project together with Rafael.
Plastic has been around for the last 70 to 60 years, but only 9% ended up being recycled. Most of it is in landfills and will take centuries to disappear. And that was the reason we could not simply make another set of plastic sunglasses. We want to create a movement of eco-friendly sunglasses in this huge industry! WE ARE ON A MISSION TO KICK PLASTIC IN THE BUTT!
So, what are these new sunglasses?
We could not simply make another set of sunglasses, we had to exceed all others in some way.
Being made of bamboo, these Wayfarers sunglasses have extra lightweight properties. They are even lighter than its plastic and regular acetate competitors making it extra comfortable on the face. They are so light that they even float on the water – you won’t be afraid to lose them when you go for a swim.
Another incredible feature is the extra resistant lenses, super polarized lenses that include 9 layers of protection including the highest UV protection (400 UV), anti scratch, polarizing core, and shock absorvers.
BUT WE WENT FURTHER...
At Joplins, we decided to put our skin on the game by providing 100% lifetime warranty on all sunglasses and will replace any pair of glasses with defects caused by materials and workmanship.
Ecological greetings for everyone,
Bernardo
