THE ORIGINAL
ABALONE (PAUA) AND WOOD SUNGLASSES
SLYK was created in 2018 after the Founder's life was turned upside down due to a medical nightmare. The mission at SLYK is to inspire others to follow their dreams and spread positivity and kindness through our wearable art. All our wooden sunglasses are handcrafted, one-of-a-kind and engraved with a special inspirational message. We are a small family run business and pride ourselves for having the most unique and sustainable eyewear on the market. Proceeds from every sale supports children's mental health and plants a tree. We would love for you to be a part of our SLYK Family!
