The Ray-Ban Reverse Collection is a new range of sunglasses designed with recognizable styles that have been given an unexpected update to keep them fresh and modern. The sunglasses come in the brand's Wayfarer, Aviator, Caravan and Boyfriend styles, which have each had their lenses inverted to showcase a concave aesthetic from the front rather than the other way around. The lenses have been covered in an anti-glare treatment to reduce disruptive reflections by as much as 70%.
The Ray-Ban Reverse Collection features styles all crafted with bio-nylon lenses that boast 41% bio-based carbon materials with the lenses featuring 67%. Priced starting at $185, the sunglasses are available now via the brand's website and at select retailers with additional options for purchase coming June 15.
