How to Spot Fake Ray-Ban Sunglasses: Our guide
If you follow our five recommendations, you will be an expert on how to spot fake ray bans. 1) Investigate the packaging Real Ray-Ban sunglasses come in official packaging (see photos above), and should include a set of things.
- Packaging boxes
- Glasses cloth
- Brochures
- Ray ban case
- Of course, your ray-ban sunglasses
If you received this then you’re off to a good start. 
2) Code cracker
The ray-ban sticker on the outside of the box should tell you a few things in order to be correct.
- The manufacturer’s name (Luxottica)
- The model
- Colour code of your ray-ban glasses
- Size
Then you need to be sure to check the information on the arms of the sunglasses.
- The left arm will usually have the model information
- The right arm will say where the glasses were made
Fake ray bans will not have this information. Please have a look at the pictures below. 
3) Logo legitimate
Where is the Ray-Ban logo on the sunglasses? Real Ray-Ban sunglasses have the Ray-Ban logo on:
- The arms of the glasses
- On the upper right-hand side of the right lens
Other things to look out for are the Ray-Ban logo on the right lens and the letters ‘RB’ etched into the lenses. 
4) On the ray ban case
Also, the case can give you a good indication if the sunglasses are fake ray bans. Ray-Ban cases come in black or brown
- The Ray-Ban logo is embossed on the side (some larger styles, like Aviator, may not) and on the button
If you thought you’d hit the jackpot with that bright blue case, sadly you might be looking at an impostor. 
5) Attention to detail
Be sure to check the finer details. Ray-Ban sunglasses are a quality product and the finishes should be perfect.
- All writing should be correct
- The lens cloth should feature the Ray-Ban logo
- The screws should feel secure
- The product should feel like a quality item
Usually, fake ray bans can feel a little light when you pick them up.
