How To Identify Authentic RayBan
Ray-Ban is an American-Italian brand of luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses created in 1936 by Bausch & Lomb. The brand is known for its Wayfarer and Aviator lines of sunglasses. In 1999, Bausch & Lomb sold the brand to Italian eyewear conglomerate Luxottica Group for a reported $640 million.
Ray-Ban’s most popular sunglasses are the Wayfarer, Erika, and Aviator models. During the 1950s, Ray-Ban released the Echelon (Caravan), which had a squarer frame. In 1965, the Olympian I and II were introduced; they became popular when Peter Fonda wore them in the 1969 film Easy Rider. The company has also produced special edition lines, such as The General in 1987, bearing similarity to the original aviators worn by General Douglas MacArthur during the Second World War. In the 1980s the Ray-Ban Clubmaster was added to the model line. The Clubmaster has a browline frame and went on to become the third best selling sunglasses style of the 1980s, behind the Wayfarer and Aviator.

$65.00 – $72.80Like other luxury brands, Ray-Ban has been a notable target for retail counterfeiters. Checking the authenticity of Ray-Ban sunglasses can help ensure that you are purchasing genuine products. Here are some steps you can take to verify the originality of Ray-Ban sunglasses:
1.Buy from Authorized Retailers:
Purchase Ray-Ban sunglasses from authorized dealers or official Ray-Ban stores. This reduces the risk of buying counterfeit products.
What if I want to buy used Ray-Ban sunglasses or buy at other online store?
If you’re tempted to buy from another online store due to jaw-dropping discounts, here are some additional tips to help you be prepared before making the purchase.
2. Check the Packaging:
Examine the packaging for any signs of poor quality, misspellings, or inconsistencies. Genuine Ray-Ban sunglasses come in a high-quality box or case with the Ray-Ban logo and product information. If the Ray-Ban sunglasses are part of a special collection, they usually come with their own unique packaging.
3. Inspect the Logo:
Look for the Ray-Ban logo on the lenses and frames. The logo should be clear, evenly printed, and properly aligned. Counterfeit sunglasses may have blurry or poorly applied logos.
4. Check the Quality:
Genuine Ray-Ban sunglasses are well-made with attention to detail. Inspect the hinges, screws, and overall construction for any signs of cheap materials or shoddy workmanship.
5. UV Protection:
Ray-Ban sunglasses provide UV protection. To check this, take the sunglasses to an optician or optical shop that can measure the level of UV protection the lenses offer.
6. Verify the Serial/Model Number
Some Ray-Ban sunglasses may have a unique model/serial number on the inside of one of the arms. You can contact Ray-Ban customer service to verify the authenticity of the sunglasses using this serial number.
7. Check for Authenticity Stickers:
Genuine Ray-Ban sunglasses often come with authenticity barcode stickers at the packaging and the lens sticker on the lens. Look for these stickers, but also be aware that counterfeiters may try to replicate them.
8. Buy from Reputable Sellers:
If you are buying Ray-Ban sunglasses online, make sure to purchase from reputable sellers with positive reviews and a history of selling genuine products.
9.Use the "Ray-Ban Genuine Check" Website:
Ray-Ban has an official website called “Declaration Of Conformity by Luxottica” that can help you determine the authenticity of your sunglasses by scanning the barcode on the packaging or the sunglasses themselves. After you have filled out the form and submitted it, you will receive a PDF file with information related to your sunglasses.
Remember that while these steps can help you identify counterfeit products, the best way to ensure you are buying authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses is to purchase them from authorized dealers or official Ray-Ban stores or from us. 😉
