The global leader in the premium eyewear market
Ray Ban have just dropped a serious new collection of stunning looking sunglasses here a Fat Buddha Store. The
company was founded in 1937 by Bausch & Lomb who were designing a
pair of sunglasses for the United States Army Air Corps which would
result in them creating the classic and iconic Avaitor as we known it
today. By 1952 the brand had developed their new style of eywear which
took shape as the
Wayfarer, one of the most recognisable, classic and iconic sunglasses ever produced, shown above and below.
The company was sold in 1999 to the French Luxottica group for a
reported $640 million and has seen it maintain it's place as one of the
biggest selling, most popular eyeware manufacturers in the world. The
brand has been seen on and endorsed by a massive line of celebrities,
musicians, actors and stars including Marilyn Monroe, Bob Dylan, Audrey
Hepburn, James Dean, John Lennon, John F Kennedy and more present day
figures such as Tom Cruise, Alexa Cheung, Quentin Tarantino, the list
could go on and on.....
Some of the new styles in the range cover the large Avaitor in new coloured mirrored lenses, the Clubmaster with contrasting colour top side's and the Wayfarer in it's original form, and new Wayfarer in all new colour options. Check out thepic's below.
