I started working on the Cottonwood sunglass strap in 2011, when I got tired of spending money on cheap straps that I'd constantly need to replace. Whether I'm on the water, in the field, or spending my Saturday at a college football game, my lifestyle revolves around the outdoors and I needed a sunglass strap that could handle it all without sacrificing classic style. I realized that even though most of us invest hundreds of dollars into high-quality sunglasses, the straps we hang them from are too often made with inferior materials. So over the course of many meetings with industry experts, we built the Cottonwood strap to be the perfect blend of performance and style.

I'm proud to say that at Cottonwood, we've had as much fun wearing our straps as we did creating them. They've been on countless fishing trips and to football games. They've been to business meetings and to weddings. We've even cracked open plenty of bottles with the patented bottle opener we package with every strap. We've taken great pride in creating and refining things that people love to use and we're constantly excited for the next product. No matter where you are or what you're doing, Cottonwood wants to be along for the ride. Always, "Made for a good time."
