Sunglasses made from the strongest plant fiber in the world
So we already knew that hemp is good for rope, hippy clothing and fancy shampoo additives, but not so much for getting you high. But Hemp Eyewear is but one more example of the seemingly limitless applications of the wonder substance. Revered by hemp enthusiasts as the strongest plant fiber in the world, surpassing that of even wood, a set of shades seems like just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what hemp can contribute to. Prototypes of these laser-etched hemp frames were seen at the London New Designers show earlier this month, but real-life launch date should be sometime early next year. Preorder or inquire now.
