Renewable Bio-Based Sunglasses

The Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Bio-Acetate Sunglasses are Distinct

The Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Bio-Acetate sunglasses are a new take on the classic eyewear style focused on providing wearers with a timeless yet eco-friendly option.

The sunglasses are crafted with the namesake Bio-Acetate material, which is comprised out of 67% bio-based materials sourced from renewable items. This includes wood pulp, cotton, beets, cereals and sugar cane to give them an eco-friendly edge over the original version as well as other styles on the market.

The Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Bio-Acetate sunglasses feature a grey stripped pattern along with a polished finish and are accented with gray gradient lenses. This plays with the tonal effect of the sunglasses to make them instantly eye-catching, but also simple enough to be worn with any casual or formal outfit.
