Handy extras while you shop

How to verify authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses and avoid counterfeits locally

Buy from authorized sources

Use the Ray-Ban store locator to find official stores and authorized partners.
Shop at known retailers like Sunglass Hut or LensCrafters that list Ray-Ban as an authorized brand.
Verify the store’s authorization on the receipt or by calling the brand’s customer support.

Packaging and paperwork checks

Box should have a crisp logo, barcode, model code, and proper spelling.
Inside you should get a branded case, cleaning cloth with clean stitching, and a warranty or booklet.
Mismatched fonts, flimsy printing, or missing items are red flags.

Frame and lens identifiers

Area	What to check	What’s suspicious
Right lens	Crisp Ray-Ban logo printed on the upper corner.	Paint bleed, off placement, or removable print.
Left lens	“RB” micro-etch near hinge side on many models.	No etch, uneven, or etched too deep.
Temples	Model code like RB2140 901 50-22 150 with CE and lens info.	Missing code, wrong spacing, or poor alignment.
Hinges	Solid, smooth movement, clean screws, no wobble.	Loose, gritty hinges, or cheap plating.

Fit, finish, and materials

Acetate feels smooth with even color, no rough edges or seams.
Metal frames have tidy solder points and even plating.
Lenses show clear optics with no waves or color cast when you tilt.

Price and policy sanity check

Prices way below retail usually mean fakes.
Authorized shops offer proper returns, receipts, and warranty.
No-return cash-only deals are a hard pass.

In-store quick tests

Polarized check. Look at an LCD and rotate the glasses to see darkening if polarized.
Model match. Confirm frame code on temple matches the box and receipt.
Serial or QR. Scan any QR on tags to see if it resolves to Ray-Ban info.

What to ask the retailer

If you suspect a fake

Don’t remove tags or wear them until verified.
Contact Ray-Ban support with photos of the frame, box, and codes.
Request a refund and report the seller if not authorized.
