Why did I fall in love with Thinwood frames?

A few years ago, it wasn’t so common to have glasses that were both design and lightweight, and at an affordable price. I’m lucky because I met Zsófi at my former job, who is the partner of Arnold Kis, the creator of Thinwood glasses.

I’ve always been amazed at how cool custom glasses are and how extremely light they are! Of course, I quickly found out they make them. 

Since I spent most of my day in the car at the time, I had my sunglasses on my face almost all day (from winter to summer).

Of course, after 2 hours of driving, even with the fancy and expensive Ray-Bans, I was left with dimples on my cheekbones from the pegs, a joy to look at and of course slightly painful. Why, because the glasses themselves are nice, but they are heavy when worn for a long time!

So I took advantage of Sophi’s business and got my first Thinwood! 

The difference in wearing comfort was heaven and earth compared to my old sunglasses! They didn’t weigh me down, they weren’t heavy, it was like I wasn’t even wearing them.

And quite a few people thought it was RB’s brand…which I of course proudly denied: it’s THINWOOD!!!

I report that the sunglasses are now 4 years old and they are in perfect condition, even though I didn’t spare them a single day! Since then I’ve bought another pair, black and sporty, so that my outfit is not boring either.

And what is also important to me: The fact that I am happy to support the work, the dream and the product of a Hungarian designer and entrepreneur!

This is my why! How do you feel about it?
