Identify a genuine pair of Ray-Bans

It is sometimes difficult to differentiate between fake and original Ray-Bans! Indeed, for several years now, RB has been the trendy brand that everyone wants; which is why it is heavily copied and reproduced to be sold on beaches or in various tourist markets. In this article, we will give you some useful tips to help you identify a genuine pair of Ray-Bans.

Recognizing the Ray-Ban Aviator model

This model is a bit special. It is important to check that "Ray-Ban" in white is inscribed on the top left lens. For the polarized model, "Ray-Ban" is followed by a "P". Also check that the letters "R" and "B" are capitalized!

Look at the inside of the temples; many references should be inscribed there. On the left temple, you should find the reference. Depending on the models, references may vary: RB3025, RB3362, RB8041, RB3026, RB3044, RB3415Q, RB3423, RB8029K, RB8301, RB8307.

Behind the reference, you will find the model name as well as several codes. Pay close attention to the last number, consisting of two digits, a square, and two other digits. This must be engraved under the transversal bar connecting the two lenses and preceded by the inscription Ray-Ban.

Other Ray-Ban models

For all other models, check that an RB logo is laser-engraved on the outer surface of the right lens at mid-height. Note that only RB3211 models do not have the engraving. In addition, all right temples of Ray-Bans have the mention "Made in Italy" and the "CE" logo for compliance.
