    Ray-Ban, the wildly popular sunglass and eye-wear brand is known for its classic frames, such as the Aviators and Wayfarer, a style made popular in the 1950s and ’60s by icons like James Dean and Buddy Holly. The company was created in 1936 and to date, continues to be one of the most recognized eyewear brands globally. Originally designed for pilots to reduce glare and improve visibility while flying, the name comes from the glasses’ ability to block out harmful “rays” and protect a pilot’s eyes from the glare. In 2021, the company made headlines for creating a model of smart glasses, developed with Facebook Reality Labs called Ray-Ban Stories. With a presence in over 100 countries, individual retail locations, and partnerships with numerous eyewear retailers, the brand has created a substantial footprint in the premium eyewear market.
