Handcrafted Nostalgic Sunglasses

The Willow Sunglasses by Out East Eyewear Have a Retro Design

— August 12, 2021 — Fashion
The Willow sunglasses by Out East Eyewear feature a stylish nostalgic design. The handcrafted accessory boasts premium materials and hardware made from the highest grade of acetate available on the market. The iconic rectangular-shaped lenses are eligible for the brand's Replacement Program. If they break or are lost, the eyewear company replaces the initial pair.

Featuring dark blue polarized lenses, the sunglasses have tortoise acetate frames. The Willow also includes 100% UVA/UVB protection in its premium C39 lens for added sun safety. This provides the wearer with security when they are outdoors for extended periods of time. The unisex sun accessory is available in size 51-18-140 and comes in a premium case with custom cloth.
