- Launched by Ray-Ban way back in 1952, Wayfarer sunglasses became an instant classic... and you need a pair.
- Audrey Hepburn wore them to Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. In the 1980's Madonna was desperately sought as 'Susan', wearing a pair.
- Even more famously.... When he had a job as a real movie star and didn't jump on Oprah's couch or alledgedly keep Katie Holmes in a cupboard, a young Tom Cruise donned a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and danced in his underwear for 'Risky Business'.
- Of course, you're too young to remember any of this. But we're pretty sure you won't have been able to ignore the Wayfarers throughout Summer 2008...
- Once again the infamous Wayfarer has become a celebrity staple, popping up on famous faces all over town...
- ... and out here in the country too. Our very own Chief at Auction Room HQ (Duncan) has recently been papped in a pair. Make no mistake - he's pretty well known down at the village Post Office.
- As a Ray-Ban classic, these bad boys will never be 'out'. In fact, they just keep getting better. And now Ray-Ban has produced them in a choice of colours too:
- The Icon Wayfarers (RB2140) are available in a whole load of brave, bold shades, and a range of funky bi-colour combinations... as well as the classic Black, of course.
- Feeling pure? Covered. Check out the white Wayfarers, with various crystal compliment options.
Feeling bold? Covered. Try turquoise, or purple & red, or perhaps tortoise set off with green lenses.
Feeling dangerous? Covered. Green camouflage is for you.
And the choices don't stop there....
- Whether you're dancing in your delicates, lunching with friends, compensating for a tragically average summer in a deliciously tropical locale, or dazzling on the ski slopes this Winter, Ray-Ban Wayfarers have got you covered.
Face it... you need these.
- Iron that underwear, practice your dance routine and bid here for your own Ray-Ban Wayfarers circa 2008.
