The Grove sunglasses from PROOF

We sold a lot of Proof sunglasses — plano and Rx — probably because wood is one of the hottest styles in our area. They are also 100 percent recycled which really hits our demographic. Heather Harrington, Elevated Eyecare, Denver, CO

The Grove from PROOF is the perfect mix of materials with its double bar metal bridge, duel colorway and natural look of sustainably sourced wood. MSRP: $130
