Technology

Each pair of Duskies Eyewear has been handcrafted from specially selected sustainable timber.

All of our timbers are certified (FSC) FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL, confirming sustainable timber harvested and sourced from accredited and supervised plantations, or are recycled timbers.

This season’s collection has been handcrafted from timbers such as Rosewood, Pear, Zebrano, Ebony and Canadian Maple wood.

Throughout the range you will also find some recycled aluminium, as well as plant-based acetate tips for style and durability. 

Each Duskies frame is set with Silver spring loaded German hinges, these are stainless steel and waterproof. This adds to the comfort and durability of the sunglasses as they will expand to fix fittingly on a range of different face shapes and sizes.

We use Polarised and non-Polarised CR39 lenses to cover a wider customer preference. On some of our earlier designs you will find TAC polarised lenses. Polarisation helps to reduce glare on bright sunny days and when out on the water. All our Eyewear offer 100% UVA/UVB protection.

Following the final sanding process of the frames, we use a natural beeswax varnish to seal and preserve the timber for long lasting endurance against the elements.

Within the Duskies range we offer optical compatible frames, where the customer can have their local optician fit a suitable prescription lens or tinted prescription sunglass lens for their requirements. If you are interested in our prescription frames we have a recommended optician we can refer you to upon request who knows our timber frames very well and is our preferred installer.

Each frame sold includes a stylish Duskies foldable cork case, microfibre cleaning cloth and bag and which come carefully packaged in our Duskies eco gift boxes. 

Due to the nature of timber and timber grains, each pair of Duskies Eyewear is unique.
