Loona sunglasses

Yep, they’re handmade

We’re Dmitry and Evgeny, two brothers who make wooden sunglasses by hand in our Toronto workshop.

 

Some may consider us fanatics/obsessives/over-the-top enthusiasts for spending six years developing our expertise with wood. But to us, our devotion to detail is a point of pride.

 

During those years, we honed our craft through hands-on experimentation. Using engineering principles, we discovered how to manipulate hardwood so it’s as durable and stable as plastic. Through trial and error, we developed superior fabrication methods that allowed for flexible sizing, testing out the comfort and “stretch” of each frame on our friends’ faces. And we perfected hand-polishing techniques that brought out the beauty of the wood and rivalled the production quality of big eyewear brands.

 

In a conscious move away from mass production and fast fashion, we’re committed to producing quality handmade sunglasses that last. That’s why we approach each pair with a level of intention and care that borders on the devout. Selecting the finest woods. Connecting with local mills and woodworking shops. Sourcing recyclable materials for our carrying bags, cloth cleaners, and packing paper. We see the potential in the unconventional and are obsessed about bringing it to life, sustainably and stylishly. Because in a world of machine-produced stuff, handmade is more than just a mark of difference. It’s a statement.

 

You may have noticed that our frames take their names from the cosmos. That’s because we cultivate in our products a quality that’s both otherworldly and entirely natural. We don’t use any stains or paints, preferring to let the natural texture and colour of the wood shine through, enhanced only by a simple coating of UV protection oil and wax.

 

The result? Every pair of handmade sunglasses we create becomes an homage. To craftsmanship. To sustainability. To timelessness.

 

We invite you to explore our collection of six signature frames, each available in seven distinctive hardwoods. They’re made by hand, with care, expertise, and an eye to sustainability.
