Our Story
Founded in 2020 by three friends in Phoenix, Arizona, Papago was born from a shared love of adventure, nature, and the outdoors. Our vision is simple: to create sunglasses that combine style, durability, and sustainability, reflecting the very spirit of exploration that inspires us. From the vast landscapes of national parks to the thrill of travel, our wooden sunglasses are designed to accompany you on every journey—whether it's a weekend getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Our commitment to the environment runs deep. Each pair of sunglasses is crafted from sustainably sourced wood, making every frame as unique as the places you explore. We believe in making high-quality eyewear that not only looks good but also feels good, knowing it's made with eco-conscious materials that contribute to the preservation of the world around us.
At Papago, we’re more than just a sunglasses brand—we’re a community of adventurers, travelers, and creators who care about the world we explore. Our mission is to offer durable, stylish eyewear that enhances your journey while supporting sustainability every step of the way. Join us as we celebrate life’s adventures, protect the planet, and see the world through a more sustainable lens.
Why Wood?
We chose wood for its blend of sustainability, durability, and natural beauty. An eco-friendly material, wood symbolizes timelessness, strength, and uniqueness. Each pair of our sunglasses is crafted from sustainably sourced wood, making every frame one-of-a-kind.
Lightweight, durable, and biodegradable, wood is the ideal material for eyewear built for adventure. By choosing wood, we create stylish, quality sunglasses that endure travel while minimizing environmental impact.
Focus on Sustainability
At Papago, sustainability drives everything we do. From deserts to forests, our designs are inspired by the diverse landscapes we explore and strive to protect.
It's not just talk. We partner with those dedicated to conserving the biomes that inspire us. A portion of our profits directly supports their efforts, helping protect these landscapes for generations.
Exploring Together
At Papago, adventure is better shared. Our community of explorers, travelers, and friends is at the heart of what we do. Whether hiking a mountain or lounging at the beach, we celebrate those moments together. We create more than sunglasses—we inspire fun, connection, and sustainable exploration. Life’s best memories happen when we explore together.
The Papago Promise
Good friends never let you leave for a party with a stretched-out shirt, a hole in your pants, or with your fly down. Your good friends at Papago believe you should never leave the house without a great pair of sunglasses.
If you receive a pair of our glasses and do not like the way our design fits on your noggin, send us an email with a picture of you wearing them and ship the pair back to us.

We believe our products will look good on anyone but want our customers to feel confident when wearing our designs. That is why every pair comes with one buddy system guarantee, to make sure you are looking your best when you put our shades on.
