Inspired by the classics. Handmade for today. RAEN is handmade & independent driven by the horizons we seek. Designed in California we are undeniably influenced by the salt in the air and the lives we lead. Our search for an authentic and yet modern classic style keeps us evolving and inventive. We are passionate about every step of our process and are committed to making eyewear that makes you proud to wear.
Our Materials Temples These temples can be balanced and adjusted for the ideal fit to any face shape. Each temple is constructed with strong, long-lasting hardware to prevent bending and warping, keeping your ideal fit, ideal. Wire Core & Hinges Each temple has a wire core embedded in it. This piece of hardware is what holds the temple shape, and keeps your favorite pair of shades fitting your subtle nuances for a long time to come. Because the hinge is mounted to this wire core it gives the frame strength throughout its entire construction. Screws & Hardware The variety of hinges we use are each specially selected to suit the styling and needs of each frame. We use three, five, and seven barrel hinges for their strength, and rivet hinges for their classic styling. Acetate All RAEN eyewear is produced from the highest grade cellulose acetate, a high quality plastic originating from the renewable resources of wood pulp and natural cotton fibers. Acetate retains its color brightness impeccably over time because its hue is embedded in the material rather than sprayed on, which also prevents any color peeling. It contains unique aging stabilizers that prevent fading, yellowing or other discoloration from UV light or skin contact. Acetate is also hypoallergenic, making it safe for those with sensitive skin. Frame Every pair of RAEN frames are handmade. Opticians always prefer to work with handmade acetate frames because they can be heated and molded to achieve the optimum fit. They also offer the wearer more flexibility and comfort. Each front shape is cut from a single flat sheet of acetate, following the precise design set forward from our California design studio.
Our Lenses CR 39 Lens All RAEN Optics are outfitted with CR-39 or CR-39 Polarized lenses manufactured by Carl Zeiss Vision.
