THE ORIGINAL

ABALONE (PAUA) AND WOOD SUNGLASSES

SLYK started in 2018, when our founder Josh was recovering from a neurological illness that left him unable to keep working as an accountant. He built SLYK to spread messages of hope and strength, and today we're still a small family business on Cape Cod.

Every pair is handcrafted from real wood and genuine abalone shell, engraved with an inspirational message, and truly one of a kind. Every sale plants a tree and supports children's mental health.
