Nina Mûr Wooden Sunglasses: A Guide to Every Model
TL;DR — Nina Mûr's sunglasses are handmade in Madrid from the same laminated Finnish birch as its optical frames, paired with steel temples and Italian acetate tips. At Gazal Eyecare the sun range runs about $495 to $595 and includes five models — Clotilde, Oskar, Pauline, Tete, and Maribel — each in vivid, hand-finished colorways. If you want wooden sunglasses that are light, distinctive, and genuinely handcrafted rather than a novelty, this is the short list.
Quick answer: what are Nina Mûr sunglasses?
They are the sun version of the brand's wooden eyewear — same materials, same Madrid workshop, same slow-fashion build. The fronts are laminated Finnish birch, curved from the start so they wrap the face, and the temples are stainless steel finished with Italian acetate tips. What sets the sunglasses apart is color: the range leans into bright, hand-finished tones you will not see on a rack of mass-market shades. At Gazal Eyecare the wooden sun models sit between roughly $495 and $595, which is squarely in independent-eyewear territory. If you have only ever worn plastic or metal sunglasses, the first thing you notice picking these up is how light real laminated wood can be.
Are wooden sunglasses good for actual sun?
Yes — the lenses do the sun work, and the wood does the wearing. A sunglass frame's job is to hold a good tinted lens comfortably and block light around the edges, and a curved birch front does that as well as any material while staying light on your face. The wood itself is warm to the touch, does not get hot and slippery the way some metal frames can in strong sun, and the acetate tips keep the frame planted behind your ears when you are moving. For lens specifics — tint depth, any prescription needs, coatings — the smart move is to ask Gazal Eyecare directly rather than assume, since options vary by frame. The frame side of the equation, though, is exactly what Nina Mûr does best.
Which Nina Mûr sunglasses can I get at Gazal Eyecare?
Five wooden sun models, each with its own personality. Here is the current lineup with prices and a representative colorway.
| Model | Price | A signature colorway |
|---|---|---|

Prices are Gazal Eyecare's, and the colorways above are drawn from each model's own photos — the actual palette runs wider once you start browsing. Maribel is the entry point at $495; Oskar sits at the top of the sun range at $595.
How do I choose between them?
Start with color, then price, then feel. Honestly, with Nina Mûr the color is the decision — these are frames people buy because a specific hue caught them, not because of a spec sheet. If you want something loud and joyful, Clotilde's Warm Red and Sky Blue combination or Maribel's Eastern Blue and Sand Yellow lean playful. Want something more restrained? Pauline in White Mist Matte and Tete in Deep Green read quieter while still being clearly handmade. Oskar, at the top of the range, comes in cooler tones like Blue Klein. My honest advice: do not overthink the shape and let the color pull you — then try the two or three finalists on and see which one your face agrees with.
Are Nina Mûr sunglasses worth it?
For the right buyer, yes. At $495 to $595 you are paying independent-brand prices, and you are getting something a mass-market label cannot give you: a handmade Madrid frame built from the brand's own curved birch plywood, roughly 85% made by hand across more than 80 steps. That is not a value proposition for everyone — if you lose sunglasses twice a summer, buy cheaper ones. But if you want one distinctive, light, well-built pair that nobody else at the beach is wearing, the craft justifies the price. The same wood-versus-plastic trade-offs from the optical side apply here, and they are broken down in wood glasses vs. acetate. Fit matters just as much for sun as for optical, which is covered in why Nina Mûr frames feel so light and comfortable.
