RAEN Optics
Handmade and independent. Born in the Golden State.
THE HUMAN TOUCH IS ESSENTIAL TO EVERY STEP
To create the unique character and uncompromising quality that defines RAEN eyewear, the human element is essential to every step of the process. Utilizing only the finest materials, from select acetates to precision optics manufactured by Zeiss to premium hinges and hardware, our handmade frames are carefully crafted for exceptional fit, all-day comfort, and long life.
AN OUTLOOK INSPIRED BY WEST COAST CULTURE
The Golden State. Reflecting the sunny spirit of the place RAEN calls home, RAEN translates the warmth and energy of the west into an expression of vibrant optimism. Independent by nature and looking forever forward, RAEN comes from a place of big dreams and new beginnings, where the value of every individual adds depth and dimension to the collective culture.
THEIR EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS ARE RAEN
Without culture there is no brand. The employees and customers of RAEN make up the DNA of who they are. Empowered, passionate, and deeply connected, we are trendsetters, artists, go-getters, adventurers, road-trippers and fun-lovers. Together RAEN creates meaningful experiences and a culture that keeps RAEN alive and thriving.
DEVOTED TO CLASSIC DESIGN WITH A MODERN APPROACH
Inspired by the timeless quality of enduring eyewear classics, RAEN embraces thoughtful restraint through a stripped-back visual language. One that places material and craft, form and structure above all else. It is a purposeful design approach that explores sophistication through simplicity, creating new modern classics with everlasting allure.
RAEN'S Process
Their process is seamless from start to finish, with meticulous attention to detail and quality from each cut and screw to every subtle nuance. Every pair of RAEN frames are designed in our California design studio and made to their exact original vision. All of RAEN’s acetate is a unique and custom combination for our line, and every frame is built with hand-guided cutting, and then hand polished to finish. All of RAEN’s lenses are manufactured by Carl Zeiss Vision, completing the process that makes every single frame RAEN.
RAEN's Materials
Our handcrafted frames, premium rivet hinge hardware, quality cellulose acetate frames, wire core construction, and ZEISS lenses are just a few of the qualities showcasing our attention to detail.
All RAEN frames equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses offering 100% UVA/UVB protection, and helping to prevent eye strain, sun damage, and long-term vision concerns caused by ultraviolet exposure. UV rays are present year-round, even on cloudy days, so high-quality protection is essential for keeping your eyes healthy. With Zeiss lenses, you get world-class optics designed for both style and safety.
