Waiting for the sun was built from the friendship between Antoine and Julien. In 2009, they were the first to offer wooden sunglasses at an affordable price. In their search for new materials they designed and developed patented bois which is a new generation of organic plastic, 100% biodegradable and renewable. It does not contain any endocrine disruptors or other carcinogens.

Style, fit, performance, value and sustainability are at the heart of this brand. Instead of going to a landfill, their SuperLight recycled resin is repurposed to make these sunglasses.
