The Ray Ban | Star Wars™ Collection Merges Fandom with Fine Craftsmanship

Ray-Ban is venturing into a galaxy far, far away with the Ray-Ban | Star Wars™ Collection. This limited-edition lineup fuses iconic eyewear design with the epic storytelling of the legendary saga. The collaboration celebrates bold, character-driven aesthetics while staying true to Ray-Ban’s signature craftsmanship and its iconic silhouettes.

The collection features four exclusive styles, each reflecting the spirit of fan-favorite characters. The classic Wayfarer and Balorama draw inspiration from the wisdom of Master Yoda and the dark presence of Darth Vader, while the new oversized Mega Wayfarer and Mega Balorama evoke the courage of the Rebel Alliance and the intensity of Kylo Ren.

Available now, the collection can be found at select Ray-Ban stores, independent optical partners, and online at Ray-Ban's website.
