Sunglass Hut and Ray-Ban unveil a new special global capsule collection, bringing together one of the world’s most iconic eyewear brands with the leading destination for premium sun style. The Ray-Ban for Sunglass Hut capsule reimagines signature silhouettes through a bold, minimalist aesthetic.
Created only for Sunglass Hut, the collection distills Ray-Ban’s heritage into its purest form. Iconic frames appear in brilliant white paired with cool grey lenses, set against Ray-Ban’s unmistakable red. The contrast creates a striking visual statement that invites wearers to define their own style.
This is not about the frames defining you. It is about you defining them.
“At Sunglass Hut, our role is to curate the most iconic brands and connect them to culture and to our customers in meaningful ways,” said Filippo Resini, President Sun Retail at EssilorLuxottica. “Ray-Ban has shaped self expression for generations. With this capsule we are creating a global moment that celebrates individuality and reinforces Sunglass Hut as the destination for premium sun style.”

The collection features four Ray-Ban silhouettes.

The Father of PR: We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Edward Bernays, known as the “father of Public Relations.” Some of his (in)famous work included promoting cigarettes to women by branding them “Torches of Freedom” and… toppling the Guatemalan government? It’s true! The United Fruit Company hired Bernays to run a PR campaign against Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, ultimately resulting in the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of the Guatemalan government in 1954.
