ors and offered at $87. Compared with companies like Ray-Ban, this price is catered to the wallets of travelers.
"We want our eyewear to be accessible to people just like us. We're going for our target market in our motto," Reynolds said. "That has a natural travel aesthetic to it."
Reynolds and Ozorkiewicz said that as travelers themselves, they know what can happen when you are constantly on the move. It was important to them that customers could get two pairs of sunglasses for $134.
"We don't want people to have to sacrifice an arm and a leg because we ourselves are building this thing so we ourselves wouldn't want to pay an arm and a leg for eyewear," Revnolds said.
Not only were the two set on offering accessible, quality eyewear, but they were also set on improving something dear to their hearts. Ozorkiewicz spent most of his life traveling and camping and said he has witnessed beautiful places destroyed by deforestation and environmental tragedies.
"It's a terrible thing to see. I figured if we were going to do something, we have to do it right," Ozorkiewicz said. "Not just volunteering our time but creating a product that can inspire others to have fun get out there and make a difference in the world."
With every pair of glasses sold, 10 trees are planted
"We want our eyewear to be accessible to people just like us. We're going for our target market in our motto."
through the Trees for the Future organization. To date, OJOS Eyewear has indirectly planted 3,000 trees. The business also taxes themselves a one percent "earth tax," which is donated to 1 Percent for the Planet and, in turn, other organizations that are earth friendly. The pouches that OJOS' eyewear come in also support and create jobs for indigenous women in India who hand craft them.
Reynolds said as a young company, they don't always fully appreciate their product's contribution to these causes, as they are not on a large scale. However, Reynolds said he is still proud.

"That was sort of surreal when that mass order of pouches came in and we knew that each and every one was hand woven and provided income for these indigenous women in India," Reynolds said.
Not only touching the lives of those overseas, but also closer to home, Ozorkiewicz said with each pair of sunglasses sold, a handwritten thank-you note is sent along with it.
"Just to show the customer that they are extremely important to us," Ozorkiewicz said. "It is really an OJOS family and a collective people trying to make a difference in this world."
Reynolds and Ozorkiewicz said they plan on expanding their eyewear styles and hope to return to their roots in Lawrence someday to sell

OJOS Eyewear. Being a Lawrence native, Ozorkiewicz suggested OJOS' unique culture would be at home on Massachusetts Street.
For now, the Barcelona-born dream has just begun in California and as it grows, the founders find themselves emotionally connected. Reynolds said.
"With every sale, with every single change and every single piece that gets put together in the puzzle, we're super connected to it," Reynolds said. "We're super in tune with that emotion because it's so dear to our hearts."
