These premium [colored sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions) by Seed are designed entirely out of durable bamboo. The best part about these [wooden sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issey-miyake-eyes) is for every pair purchased, Seed will plant five new trees to help rejuvenate the environment.

Finding a good pair of sunglasses can be a difficult feat. While the higher quality eyewear tends to run on the more pricy side, these Seed sunglasses are in a relatively affordable price range and you give back to the environment every time you purchase a pair. Each pair of Seeds sunglasses come with a luxurious bamboo frame that is designed to last. The bamboo comes in a wide variety of shades from black to rich brown. The lenses also come in a slew of [holographic mirrored hues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantaris) from pink and orange to blue and purple.
