Ray Ban online shop

Ray-Ban was founded in 1937 by Bausch and Lomb, introduced with the intention of being distributed for the United Stated Army Air Corps. This stemmed from a complaint by a Lieutenant by the name of John MacCready claiming he had been blinded by the sun. The first prototype were the classic aviators featuring an anti-glare lens, perfect for the pilots that they were designed for. However, as is natural in life, the Ray-Ban aviator evolved and the Ray-Ban Wayfarers were born. A big change with plastic, thick frames as opposed to the thin metal, both styles have become as iconic as each other. Even to this day, the two key pieces essential to get the Pilot look just right are a pair of Ray-Ban aviators and a leather flying jacket. The second boost in sales for the company came in 1960 when Audrey Hepburn donned a pair of wayfarers thought the entire cult classic, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, matching the sunglasses with fine pearls and her GivenchynullLBD, a classic, elegant style. Other movie appearances for the Ray-Ban’s include Blues Brothers, characterising a cool style by matching sharp suits with dark glasses. Ray-Bans still have a major presence today with Barack Obama recently donning a pair giving a further boost to sales, showing that they will never go out of fashion and the sunglasses are accessible to all, from the president to the wild child. Apart from the presence within the world of celebrity, the popularity is seen to be due to the expert craftsmanship with the style factor being seen as an added bonus.
