The Biarritz is Bear Essentials' take on the effortless elegance of the South of France coastline. The Gold Chrome finish gives it a warm, light-catching quality that works as well on a beach as it does in the city — and the wood veneer construction means it sits in a different category entirely from the injection-moulded frames that fill most sunglasses racks.
What makes it worth the attention:
- Wood veneer frame combined with thin layers of aluminium for structure and durability
- Over 65 hand-crafting steps per frame — no two frames are identical
- Sustainably sourced high-grade hardwood veneer
- Polarised lenses with UV 400 protection to reduce glare on bright days
- Suitable for heart, oval, rectangle, and diamond face shapes
- Lifetime warranty included as standard
- Comes with a protective cork casing that folds flat into a bag or back pocket
The lenses are polarised with UV 400 protection — the standard that actually cuts glare rather than just darkening your view. Bear Essentials also offers personalised lens choices if you want to configure the frame differently.
The cork case is a practical detail worth noting: it protects the frames without adding bulk, which matters if you are travelling light.
For every purchase, Bear Essentials plants one tree in areas of deforestation using only native species — a direct response to the materials the brand uses, rather than an offset purchased at arm's length.
The Biarritz also makes a considered gift. The cork packaging presents well, and the lifetime warranty means the recipient is genuinely set up for the long term.
About Our Brand Bear Essentials
Travel accessories are often mass-produced from synthetic materials, leaving environmentally conscious explorers with limited options that align with their values. Bear Essentials addresses this by creating durable, considered products for those who wish their equipment to be as thoughtful as their journeys.
Every Bear Essentials item is handcrafted using natural materials, including wood from sustainable forestry and recycled pellets, ensuring each piece is unique. The brand prioritises natural alternatives over plastic, a practical manufacturing decision that speaks to their commitment to responsible production.
Originating from a family home workshop, Bear Essentials maintains handcrafting as central to its production, refusing to compromise craft for scale. For every purchase, a tree is planted, directly replenishing the natural resources used and closing the loop between consumption and environmental return.
