There is a particular kind of confidence that comes from wearing something genuinely well-made. The Biarritz in Vintage Brown is Bear Essentials' take on the effortless elegance of the South of France coastline — a wooden frame that earns its place through construction, not just looks.
Each frame is built from sustainably sourced high-grade wood veneer combined with thin layers of aluminium. The combination matters: the wood gives each pair its character and warmth, while the aluminium ensures the structure holds up to real wear. With over 65 hand-crafting steps involved in every single frame, no two are identical — which is either a feature or a fact, depending on how you look at it.
Key details:
- Wood veneer and aluminium construction
- Polarised lenses with UV 400 protection — reduces glare on bright days
- Lifetime warranty included as standard
- Suitable face shapes: heart, oval, rectangle, and diamond
- Comes with a protective cork casing that folds flat into a bag or back pocket
- For every purchase, Bear Essentials plants one tree in areas of deforestation using only native species
The lenses are polarised with UV 400 protection, which means they cut glare rather than just darkening your view — a meaningful difference on the water or on the slopes. Multiple lens options are available to personalise your pair.
The cork casing is a considered detail: protective enough to keep the frames safe, compact enough to disappear into a pocket. It is the kind of practical thinking that runs through everything Bear Essentials makes.
The lifetime warranty is not a marketing footnote. Bear Essentials backs every wooden frame with it, supported by an aftersales team — a signal that the brand expects these to last, and stands behind that expectation.
For gifting: the combination of the cork case, the personalisation options, and the tree-planting commitment makes this a gift that arrives with a story already attached.
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.
