Questions About Ray Ban B&L

Why are they called Ray-Bans?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
Why they're called Ray-Bans relates to the function of the sunglasses produced by the brand. Initially, Ray-Ban specialized in producing eyewear for pilots who were concerned about being blinded by sunlight during flights. The makers of Ray-Ban sunglasses, Bausch & Lomb, chose the name Ray-Ban to convey the fact that the lenses banned rays of light from the pilots' vision. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Ray-Ban sunglasses.
What makes Ray-Ban so special?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
A few things make Ray-Ban so special. For starters, the eyewear company produces lenses capable of blocking up to 85% of UV light without interfering with color perception the way that some other sunglasses do. Ray-Ban is also known for the quality of its frames, which are usually hand-polished to remove imperfections. Plus, the brand has introduced iconic styles like the Wayfarer and the Aviator over the course of its more than 85-year history. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Ray-Ban sunglasses.

1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024

What are the classic Ray-Bans called?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
What the classic Ray-Bans are called depends on their design, as the American eyewear maker is well known for producing two distinct sunglasses. The first is the Aviator, which features a curvy metal wire frame and a double bridge design, and the second is the Wayfarer, featuring a cellulose propionate plastic frame with square lenses. Ray-Ban introduced the Aviator sunglasses in 1937 and unveiled the Wayfarer in 1952. Explore an assortment of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.

Who made Ray-Ban glasses?

Bausch & Lomb originally made Ray-Ban glasses. The company launched the Ray-Ban brand in 1936, introducing the now iconic Aviator frame.

How can I tell if my Ray-Bans are vintage?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
To tell if your Ray-Ban sunglasses are vintage, look at the temples. There, you will find the four-digit serial number. Cross-referencing this number with information provided by trusted online resources can help you date your eyewear. Generally, any pair of Ray-Bans made 20 years ago or more is vintage. Another way to get a rough idea of the age of your sunglasses is to look for an BL or B&L mark on the lenses. This mark refers to the previous owner of Ray-Ban, Bausch & Lomb. Since the company sold the eyewear brand in 1999, any sunglasses that bear its initials are usually vintage. For assistance in dating your sunglasses, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses.
How can I tell if my Ray-Bans are fake?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
To check the authenticity of your Ray Ban sunglasses, check the corner of the left lens for the ‘RB’ mark. It should be clear and etched into the lens. If it looks painted on or low quality, it could be a sign the Ray Bans are fake. Shop a collection of properly vetted vintage and contemporary Ray Bans from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
Are Ray-Bans considered luxury?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
Yes, many people consider Ray-Ban pieces to be luxury. They generally fit the definition of luxury because they feature quality workmanship and materials and are available at aspirational price points. Vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses remain practically synonymous with American cool. The brand has given us some of America’s most iconic sunglass styles — the Wayfarer, the Clubmaster and the Aviator. Early adopters of the Wayfarer included James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, who were soon followed by other artists, like Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. Shop a collection of Ray-Ban pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
Are Ray-Ban glasses cases leather?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
Whether Ray-Ban sunglass cases are leather varies. Ray-Ban eyewear typically comes in a faux leather case, but Ray-Ban has released limited edition genuine leather cases for purchase separately over the years. Find a variety of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.
Are Ray-Bans made in Italy real?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
Yes, Ray-Bans made in Italy may be real. The luxury sunglasses maker produces its eyewear in both Italy and China, so authentic pieces may come from either country. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can assist you with the authentication process if you're unsure whether your sunglasses are real. Explore a selection of Ray-Ban eyeglasses on 1stDibs.
Are fake Ray-Bans made in China?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
Some fake Ray-Bans may be made in China. Counterfeiters can be located anywhere in the world and may use a wide range of "Made by" markings. However, not all Ray-Bans with a “Made in China” stamp are fake. The company that manufactures Ray-Bans, Luxottica, partners with factories in both Italy and China. As a result, it's better to consider the other details of the sunglasses, such as the quality of the hardware and the evenness of the finish, when authenticating Ray-Ban sunglasses. A certified appraiser or other expert can help you authenticate your eyewear. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Does Ray-Ban use real glass lenses?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
Whether Ray-Ban uses real glass lenses varies. Most vintage eyewear and some contemporary styles feature glass lenses. However, modern-day sunglasses and eyeglasses made by the luxury brand usually feature high-quality acrylic or polycarbonate plastic lenses. Explore a variety of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.
Do Ray-Ban green lenses look black?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
Yes, Ray-Ban green lenses look black, both to the wearer and to anyone who sees them. Interestingly, the eyewear maker does not produce any of its iconic sunglasses with black lenses. Instead, designers at the brand use gray or green lenses to simulate the visual effects of black while offering advanced sun protection. Explore a variety of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.
Where can I find original Ray-Ban aviator glasses?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
You can find original Ray-Ban aviator glasses from a number of sources. However, the simplest way is likely to browse a reputable online platform that sells vintage sunglasses. Alternatively, you can also look at online and print classifieds, vintage shops, estate sales, auction houses and flea markets. Shop a collection of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.
Do real Ray-Bans say Made in Italy?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
Yes, some real Ray-Bans say Made in Italy. The company that manufactures Ray-Ban eyewear, Luxottica, does produce select styles in Italy. However, other sunglasses that bear the Ray-Ban name originate from factories in China. As a result, a pair of sunglasses may be genuine even if it doesn't have a Made in Italy stamp. If you need assistance authenticating your eyewear, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Explore a variety of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.
