Proof

I thought that I would be nice and tell some of my family and friends about a new company called Proof. It was started by Joel's high school friend and my good friend Brooks Dame. They are wood sunglasses. Yep y'all heard it right wood sunglasses. This company was started to help those around the world. Here is their web sites.



Here is their statment please read!

Proof is a wood eye wear company that manufactures it’s sunglasses from sustainable wood sources. We think that the wood medium adds a warmth and look that other materials can’t replicate. The silhouettes of our eye wear are classic looking shapes and styles that anyone can appreciate.

Sustainability is a key component in Proof’s DNA. We only use wood species that are harvested in a sustainable manner and won’t adversely impact the environment. We offer a sunglass-recycling program and even our packaging is eco-friendly. We strive to look for opportunities to reduce our impact on the environment whenever possible.

Proof also thinks that good business and social endeavors aren’t mutually exclusive. They should actually be equal partners. To this end, Proof has made a commitment to support worthwhile causes. Proof has partnered with an eye clinic in India that performs sight-giving surgeries for those who can’t afford it. Proof will donate a large portion of each sale to this cause.

Proof’s mission is simple Look Good. Do Good.

Manufacturers of the finest hand-made wood sunglasses in the world. Made from sustainable wood sources, our sunglasses are "Naturally Classic".

A large portion of each sale goes to support worthy causes that we believe in. Like eye clinics in India that give sight-giving surgeries to those that can't afford it. Or helping reforestation efforts in Hati.


I know that they are sending some of their proceeds to Japan as well. Check out the websites for more info!
