PHILOSOPHY:
“We were seeing many of our friends putting prescription lenses in our frames. It became obvious that we needed to launch our own Rx line,” says Justin Heit, Raen co-founder. His brother and co-founder Jeremy Heit adds, “We’re a company of designers so we tend to obsess over details. In launching our own Rx line, we wanted to make certain every element in the frames is on point.”
MARKETING: Raen is supporting the Rx launch with a marketing campaign on raenoptics.com called “Through the Eyes of,” which showcases the eclectic lifestyles of the brand’s designers and ambassadors. Each frame comes with a case and pouch.
PRICE POINT: $$$
