Ray-Ban Wayfarer

The Ray-Ban Wayfarer is a design of sunglasses manufactured by Ray-Ban  since 1952, when their design was a revolutionary break from the metal eye wear of the past. Wayfarers enjoyed early popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. Though the sunglasses had faded from the limelight by the 1970s, a lucrative 1982 product placement deal brought Wayfarers to their height of popularity. Since the mid-2000s, the sunglasses have been enjoying a revival.
