Unisex designs
Ray Ban was responsible for creating two of the most imitated sunglass models on the planet, the Aviator in 1936 and the Wayfarer in 1953, and are reported to be the best selling styles in history. This year’s Ray Ban range consists of both classic metal models to more modern plastic styles. Available for both men and women prices at Vision Express start at £75.
Continuing with Ray-ban, Vision Express is excited to present the Clubmaster Ray-ban’s.
