    Tuesday, May 13th, 2025 @ 12pm CST


    Wooden Watches, Sunglasses and Accessories

    At Joycoast, everything we create is made from wood because it reflects our commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and unique style. Wood’s natural lightness makes our products incredibly comfortable to wear all day. Whether it’s a watch, sunglasses, a ring, or a bracelet, you’ll barely notice you’re wearing it, but the design will always make a statement.

    Our mission is to create exciting, unique, and sustainable products for your wardrobe while maintaining a negative carbon footprint and positively impacting the environment. 

    For every product sold, 10 trees are planted in an area that needs it most around the world. 

    Our goal is to plant 1 Million trees. Ready to help us get there?

    (Reps are Lore Rincon and Debbie Bertram)
