Ray Ban

Ray-Ban® is for high-flyers. The legend dates back more than 80 years ago as a technological response to a challenge that US Air Force pilots were facing. The solution was found in 1937, when the first pair of sunglasses that could protect pilots from glare at high altitute was launched. These sunglasses were later rebranded as the Ray-Ban® Aviator, arguably the most famous sunglasses ever made. Since then, Ray-Ban has been at the forefront of style, technology and culture, never forgetting its pioneering spirit and openness to innvoation.

Throughout its seven-and-a-half decades, Ray-Ban has been instrumental in pushing boundaries in music and the arts, forging the rise of celebrity culture, and creating the power of the rock and movie stars to influence fashion. From James Dean to Audrey Hepburn to Michael Jackson, Ray-Ban has proven indispensible for cultural icons who don’t want to be seen - but definitely want to be noticed. Ray-Ban has left an indelible mark on culture history.

Ray Ban is a brand of sunglasses that have been available since the late 1930‘s. Ray Ban was originally founded by the company Baush & Lomb. Ray Ban is well known for selling Aviator type sunglasses which have become extremely popular and have been in demand for many years. Ray Ban certainly has a long and colourful history. In later years, Ray Ban sunglasses gained considerable popularity when Hollywood personalities began to endorse the product.

Famous Ray Ban Sunglasses

First, you have the aviator. You know the shape, but do you know the story? In 1937, the aviator was born with a purpose: to protect us fighter pilots against the sun's sharp rays. Forever connected to the heroes of the past, over the decade the aviator has flown alongside those with their sights set on the sky. Timeless design meets brave boundless spirit. With the aviator, the heroes of the past and the high-flyers of today raise expectations higher and further than ever.

Then you have the round model. Gazing past convention, the round is the one with a dream. Worn by the counter-cultural thinkers of the past, the round became a symbol of freedom and the style of those who dared to disrupt. Curious, creative and courageous since 1989, the round breaks the mold and leaves convention behind. Unaltered since its creation, today the timeless model holds the same nonconformist spirit for those who redefine the impossible.

Born to wander, the wayfarer model has never stood still. In the early '50s, as moldable plastics entered the scene, the wayfarer shifted sunglasses from function to style and the rest is history. Today, the wayfarer continues to challenge the unexplored with timeless swagger. The rock revolution of the '60s, the art scene of the '80s, the forefront of hip-hop culture... Wherever there's style, there's the wayfarer. Endlessly shifting horizons, for the wayfarer every adventure is a new perspective.
