Bamboo Sunglasses with Hollow Butterfly Frame
These bamboo sunglasses use a large butterfly-shaped frame with a hollowed section at the temples, and they are the only pair in this range where the maker publishes real lens information. It gives the lens material as PC — polycarbonate — and describes the lenses as polarized with anti-UVA and anti-UVB treatment. Those are the maker’s statements, not a tested rating, and no UV400 or ISO figure is published. Three colourways. Imported.

About This Product
This listing is for one pair of butterfly-framed sunglasses with hollowed temple sections, in three colourways: black, white and leopard. The maker describes the frame as bamboo. In the photographs the wood grain appears at the temples, with the front in a moulded frame, and the maker does not break down which parts are bamboo and which are not — so if that distinction matters to you, email support@splashis.com before ordering and we will ask the factory. The maker gives the lens material as PC (polycarbonate) and describes the lenses as polarized with anti-UVA and anti-UVB treatment; we are repeating its statements, we have not had the lenses independently tested and no numeric rating such as UV400 is published. These are non-prescription sunglasses. Imported. Eligible refund requests are accepted within 30 days of delivery, subject to our Return & Refund Policy.
Who It's For
Best for:
- Anyone who wants a natural material rather than plastic or metal
- Holiday and daytime wear
- Large-shape wearers
- Buyers who want published lens information rather than none
What polarization does, and what it does not
Polarization and UV filtering are two different jobs that often get sold as one. A polarizing filter cuts glare — specifically light that has bounced off a flat surface like water, wet tarmac or a car bonnet — and it is why polarized lenses make a difference on a boat or a long drive. It says nothing about ultraviolet. UV filtering is a separate treatment, and a lens can have one without the other. The maker here states both for this pair, which is more than it states for anything else we stock, and we are passing that on as its word rather than as a tested result. One practical note that has nothing to do with claims: polarized lenses can make some LCD screens, including certain dashboards and phone displays, look dark or patterned at an angle. That is normal and not a fault.
What to Pair It With
Natural materials — linen, straw, wood-bead jewellery. Bamboo reads warm, so gold over silver. A butterfly shape wants hair off the face.
Care Instructions
Keep them out of prolonged damp and away from direct heat; bamboo is a natural material and both will move it over time. Clean the lenses with a microfibre cloth and plain water. Use a case rather than dropping them loose into a bag, and never leave them in a hot parked car.
