Ray-Ban, known for its iconic eyewear, has a history deeply rooted in aviation and Hollywood. Founded in 1936 by Bausch & Lomb, the brand initially focused on creating anti-glare sunglasses for U.S. military pilots, famously known as the Aviator style. Ray-Ban transitioned to the civilian market and became a pop culture phenomenon, popularized by films and celebrities like James Dean and Audrey Hepburn. In 1999, Luxottica Group acquired the brand. #vintageamericana #rayban #amekaji #signet | Kuy
