Drift Handcrafted Wooden Eyewear - Drift's Design Concepts

The greatest challenge for DRIFT Eyewear® was not only to create an eco-friendly product, but to create it with an aesthetic appeal and a level of quality unlike any that had been seen before. To achieve this goal we were forced to throw out all accepted standards of eyewear production. We had to think outside the box and work from the ground up.

The following details show the value you get with each purchase of DRIFT Eyewear®.

Environmental Consciousness

All of our wood offerings are sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified suppliers.
We are proud members of 1% for the Planet. Through this group we donate 1% of net sales to helping preserve our planet
for generations to come.
The fronts are made of the highest quality cellulose acetate (CA). CA is a derivative of the wood pulping process and is a non-petroleum based plastic.
We use a VOC and formaldehyde free epoxy.
Our coating is water based and VOC free.
The travel pouch is constructed of 100% Organic Linen and 100% Organic Cotton.
Our marketing materials are printed on 100% recycled paper with water based inks.

Technical Quality

Our fronts are designed to work easily with opticians, so all of our frames are “Rx able”.
We use top-of-the line silver and nickel spring hinges for comfort, durability, and appeal.
The wood temples are waterproof and UV inert. This means they will not be affected by sun fading or being left in the rain.
Each pair is hand finished for maximum comfort.
Our temples use the innovative PressureFLEX Technology™. This patent pending design provides an optimal combination of strength, flexibility, and balance.

An element previously unseen in eyewear design.
