Named after the Portuguese coastal town whose landscape inspired its rounded silhouette, the Lagos is Bear Essentials' most characterful frame. Each one is cut from sustainably sourced hardwood veneer, which means the grain pattern on your pair exists nowhere else in the world. That is not a marketing line — it is just how wood works.
The construction is more involved than it looks. Over 65 hand-crafted steps go into each frame, with thin layers of aluminium bonded to the wood to give it the structural resilience to handle a beach bag, a ski slope, or the inside of a jacket pocket without warping. The result is a frame that wears in rather than wears out.
- Frame material: sustainably sourced hardwood veneer with aluminium reinforcement

- For every purchase, Bear Essentials plants one tree in areas of deforestation using only native species
The polarised lenses with UV 400 protection cut glare on bright days without distorting colour — useful whether you are on the water or at altitude. Lens options are available to personalise the frame if Vintage Brown is not your starting point.
The cork case is worth mentioning separately. It is not an afterthought — it folds flat into a back pocket and keeps the frame protected without adding bulk. If you are buying this as a gift, it arrives ready.
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.
