It all began back in the 1930s when the high-flyers of the US Air Force needed protection against the harmful sun rays. To solve the issue, New York-based Bausch & Lomb developed an “Anti-Glare” prototype which would become the keystone of the brand - 'Ray-Ban' derives its name from the ability of the glasses to limit rays of light . . .

The decades passed. Trends changed. But Ray-Ban remained.
The look of legends and a symbol of style. Their undeniable presence from the stage to the streets put the cult in culture for trendsetters around the world.
