The brand’s iconic Aviator sunglasses became available to the public in 1937, marking the beginning of its commercial eyewear history. In 1952, Ray-Ban introduced the Wayfarer, expanding its identity beyond aviation into everyday fashion and popular culture. Its designs combine functional innovation with distinctive silhouettes, from metal aviators to bold acetate frames and the structured Clubmaster. After Luxottica acquired Ray-Ban in 1999, production was consolidated in Italy, establishing a stronger connection with Italian manufacturing while preserving the brand’s American heritage.
