The legendary Ray-Ban glasses: a little history...
Ray-Ban is an eyewear brand created in 1937 by the American company Bausch & Lomb. At the request of an aviator, Lieutenant Macready, "protective, panoramic, and wraparound" aviator glasses equipped with the amazing G15 solar lens were developed. After the creation of the "Aviator" model, commissioned by the US Air Force in 1936, Ray-Ban glasses were immediately adopted by the American army. Many models were then produced, maintaining the brand's innovative spirit: round metal glasses, the famous Round, acetate and metal glasses like the illustrious Clubmaster, and acetate glasses, the Wayfarer. The brand's most famous ambassadors include the Blues Brothers, as well as Tom Cruise and Amelia Earhart.
But beyond ambassadors, Ray-Ban also has a large number of celebrity fans: Madonna, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Jude Law, Rihanna, Brad Pitt... the list is long! Ray-Ban glasses were initially manufactured in the United States, but since the brand's acquisition by the Italian manufacturer Luxottica, the world's number 1 eyewear company, in 1987, they have been produced in Italy, in Milan, or in China, in Brazil, depending on the models and final destinations. Nevertheless, the collections retain an American-inspired imprint.
