Sunglass Manufacturers
If you're hoping to buy sunglasses directly from the manufacturer, you might be out of luck.
Manufacturers of sunglasses typically sell through specialty stores, department stores, eye doctors, optical shops, other brick-and-mortar dealers, and online dealers.
A few, listed below, have their own online stores. And while this isn't exactly like buying from the manufacturer, there is at least one manufacturer that operates an extensive network of stores. Luxottica, which manufactures brands including Revo and Ray-Ban, also owns the retail chains LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut.
