The Biarritz in Sunset Red is Bear Essentials' take on South of France ease — a wood veneer frame that earns a second glance without trying too hard. The shape suits heart, oval, rectangle, and diamond face profiles, and the Sunset Red colourway gives it a warmth that works from the beach to the city.
What makes these worth the attention is the construction. Each frame is built across more than 65 individual hand-crafting steps, combining sustainably sourced high-grade hardwood veneer with thin layers of aluminium. That combination gives you the warmth and grain of real wood with the structural resilience needed to actually wear them regularly. Because the veneer is natural, no two frames are identical.
- Frame material: sustainably sourced high-grade hardwood veneer with aluminium layers
- Lens type: polarised with UV400 protection
- Face shapes: heart, oval, rectangle, diamond
- Warranty: lifetime
- Packaging: protective cork casing, folds flat into a bag or back pocket
- Tree planted for every purchase
The polarised lenses with UV400 protection cut glare on bright days without distorting colour — useful whether you are on the water or navigating a sun-drenched high street. Lens personalisation is available across the range if you want to make the frame your own.
The cork casing that comes with every pair is worth mentioning: it is genuinely pocketable, which means you are far less likely to leave the glasses unprotected at the bottom of a bag. It also makes the Biarritz a considered gift — the packaging does the work without any additional wrapping needed.
Bear Essentials started in a family home workshop and has kept handcrafting at the centre of production rather than scaling it out. The lifetime warranty reflects that confidence — if something goes wrong, their aftersales team works with you directly to resolve it.
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.
