New kid on the block Raen Optics are kicking some serious goals around the world with their latest shades. These things are slick, sleek, stealth and all round demon seed. The above pair are my personal fave, the Casbah. Look out for their release in Oz shortly.

All of Raen’s eyewear collection are handmade from the finest quality materials offering both polarized and UVA/UVB protection lenses. RAEN frames will also be made for sale as RX prescription frames.

The company is based in Encinitas, California where all of it’s warehousing and US operations take place. R A E N Optics is an independent, classics driven brand, aimed at bringing attention to quality and authenticity to a competitive market at a fair and moderate price.

They’ve also got advocates like Modest Mouse…..now that’s cool. Well, I’ve pumped up their tyres quite enough already, so check them out and make up your own mind.
