Experimenting Everyday
Materials that Matter
Whether it’s grade-A lumber from Pacific Northwest forests, or cellulose acetate from Italy, we scour the globe for the world’s most premium materials and components.
Global Collaboration
Shwood's Portland manufacturing facility is just the start. They've traveled the world to find the best materials and makers. The result is a collaborative manufacturing process that yields best-in-class craftsmanship in every aspect.
Committed to Quality
Every piece of eyewear passing through their workshop has been manipulated by over twenty sets of hands, leading to their truly unique nature. In an industry consisting of a sea of sameness, the hope is that every Shwood product gives its wearer a sense of individuality that matches their own.
When paired with some of the finest optics and components available, the result is the world's finest natural eyewear.
Fit & Finish
Shwood's styles are mainly unisex, with some dedicated styles for men and women. Just under half of the collection is international fit, with some sun frames featuring anti-slip nose and temple pads for the active wearer. Where wood is used, it is treated and sealed, making it water-resistant. All Shwood frames come with a 2-year warranty
Unique Materials
Shwood's collections centre around 3 main materials & mediums: Wood, Acetate and Stabilized.
Wood
Shwood's 13-ply construction merges premium hardwoods with ultra-thin aluminum stringers for industry-leading durability and featherweight comfort.
Acetate
Crafted in Italy from cotton and wood pulp, Mazzucchelli acetate is known for its beautiful designs, supple textures, and 100 year legacy of quality.
Stabilized
A new innovation in the eyewear market, Shwood has developed an in-house resin-casting technique to quite literally freeze elements of nature in time.
