island crush: koa sunnies
Sep 29
once upon a time, i cracked open my birthday piggy bank to splurge on a pair of iconic wayfarers.
these are much nicer.
kicks hawaii gathered up koa remnants from local woodworkers and island tree farms to be upcycled into stylish sunglasses by shwood, a portland maker who crafted 200 limited edition pairs of its canby design to celebrate the honolulu shop's tenth anniversary.
the love & aloha etched inside the frame (font by sig zane!) is an especially sweet reminder of home.
p.s. peek the manufacturing process which is made in the usa from frame to finish here.
