Just got the sunglasses from lani shades and I’m honestly impressed. Super light, comfy, and the natural wood look is clean. Lenses are clear and block the sun well. Didn’t expect to like them this much, but they’re officially my new everyday shades.
I love that Lani Shades isn’t just another sunglasses brand. I got the pink lens pair and they’ve honestly become my go to for work on the water. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and I don’t have to worry about losing them to the ocean because the wood frames actually float, which is perfect when you’re on a boat all day. What I really like is that they feel purposeful. They use less plastic, and they help pull plastic off the beaches, and all of that matters when you literally spend every day in the ocean. But at the same time, they’re just the cutest! I get so many compliments on the shape and color. They’re durable, stylish, ocean-friendly, and definetly my favorite sunglasses i’ve ever owned!
These glasses are perfect for sailing, both big boat cruising and dinghy racing. The lenses are high quality and super clear. This style is great for people with smaller faces as they stay on really well.
I absolutely love these glasses, even more because working on boats it protects me from the sun and my visibility to the ocean is so clear and blue.
These sunglasses are AMAZING! I spend all day conducting conservation field work on remote islands where eye protection is essential. No sunglasses ever looked so fetching while protecting against sun and sand. They are light weight, stay on my face while boating, and come with a beautiful case to store them in while I rest up for the next days' adventures. Part of my work is removing plastic marine debris from beaches and I that is why I searched for a bamboo frame. I sure am glad I found Lani who shares in my passion for clean oceans! I will never have to shop around for another company. Lani Shads is part of the family now!
"I absolutely love these sunglasses! After spending over 35 years on the water as a boat captain, having sailed countless miles around the world and across the Pacific, I can confidently say I wish I had these shades on every voyage. They’re practical, fit perfectly, and even manage to make an old captain like me look great! A perfect blend of style and functionality."
We love basking in the sun near the ocean on a sunny summer day, so it is amazing that my boyfriend and I can now wear shades with ease. We can wear it to protect our eyes from the hot sun and we can wear it in the water to cool us down. If it drops, then it floats! How amazing is that! Wearing shades is so different now. We definitely want more in different colors!
I enjoy surfing and sailing. I have several of pairs of sunglasses in my drawer. My Lani Shades however become my go to pair. They’re light, comfortable to wear. The polarized lenses reduces glare from the sun on the horizon on reflection from the ocean. Eagerly awaiting my recently ordered second pair of Lani Shades.
The quality of the product speaks for itself. I love how light they are I have trouble wearing anything too heavy. Highly recommend 10/10 ❤️
Love these cool shades that are eco friendly! I keep one pair in my truck and one at home.
I am absolutely in love with the feel and functionality of these glasses if you sell or love water sports you’ll never lose them because the float right back to the top if you lose them. They are perfectly polarized and lightweight! The service is amazing and made with quality and aloha
Wow,
Stoked that these local wooden glasses float. Brought a few for my family.
Mahalo Lani shades
Big fan of my recent purchase of the Lani Ohe Classic shades. They are super unique and eye catching, matching with a nice blazer and jeans. When out on the town in Tokyo, often tell people ask where I got them and compliment my look. When I'm out navigating the canals in my urban kayak, I can rest assured as they fit my face snugly and they float!
Keep the strong vibes going, Team Lani. Big ups and much mahalos!
Lost my sun glasses while swimming at the beach a few days ago, while looking for a new pair, I found Lani Shades. I never had wooden glasses before, but these are great! They float, light weight and feel great! Thank you! Definitely recommend
Picked these up a few weeks ago and have gotten plenty compliments. The bamboo finish feels and looks great! Definitely would recommend.
