These cool handcrafted shades are made by a company called Slanties. Their Slanties brand is based on ancient Inuit eyewear.
Each pair of slanties is handcrafted in light, durable natural wood grain, and is engineered to be so endurable that they will last for 800 years, provided, of course, you take good care of them.
Each pair is reinforced with a layer of fiberglass, and makes you look hip on the beach, in the club or visiting your grandparents.
