Vintage Ray Ban Case

A vintage Ray Ban case is a sunglasses case that is a throwback to a different era and style. Ray Bans are classic sunglasses that have been around since 1936. They have become an icon of style and fashion. Used by the Air Force, featured in popular movies such as Top Gun and Reservoir Dogs and mentioned in songs such as The Boys of Summer by Atari ("You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on"), Ray Ban sunglasses have become integral to popular culture.

While Ray Bans are still made and new models are produced, vintage models have become highly collectible. A vintage Ray Ban case can add great value to a collectible piece of sunglasses, as the case is a fashion statement in and of itself. Furthermore, even if you don't want to buy vintage Ray Ban sunglasses, you can buy a case to keep your new glasses in so that you really stand out from the crowd.

Ray Ban cases are as unique as the sunglasses themselves. Each model of Ray Bans has a different look and was created for the style of the era. Each of these models came with a specially designed case, custom tailored to the look and feel of the sunglasses model with which it was sold.

The manufacturers, in fact, have made it a point to position the case as being indispensable and integral to the product itself. For example, a Jaguar 371 may look out of place and not fit properly in a Dunhill 6078 case. Thus, selecting the proper style case is essential to achieving a cohesive look with your Ray Ban sunglasses.

In addition to adding style, a vintage Ray Ban case also adds function. Sunglasses are best maintained and preserved in the case they came in. Using the right size case and the case specifically designed for your Ray Ban sunglasses can help protect the glasses from scratches, breaks or other damage. Sunglasses should be kept in their cases when not in use, and having the perfect stylish case to keep your Ray Bans in can provide protection and make a fashion statement at the same time.

Some vintage cases are made out of leather, nylon, or plastic. These cases can provide protection not only for the Ray Bans they came with, but also for new sunglasses. If you want to truly create a sensation, select a vintage case for a new pair of sunglasses. This can add class to any pair of sunglasses, while providing protection as well.

Vintage cases for Ray Bans are usually available online, and are often found for sale as an accessory to vintage sunglasses. When shopping on eBay or other online sites where vintage Ray Bans are offered, many of the listings highlight the fact that the sunglasses or eyeglasses are sold "with the original case."

Glasses sold with this original accessory are valued higher than glasses sold without a case. In fact, cases are estimated to add anywhere between six and ten percent to the value of the sunglasses.

You may also be able to buy these cases individually without purchasing the glasses. eBay can also be a great source for this, as can Craigslist and local specialty flea markets. It is usually more difficult to come across a case being sold without sunglasses, and prices can vary widely on individual cases from under $1 for a plain black case to upwards of $20.00 for a more intricate style.

Vintage cases should be bought to accompany vintage sunglasses so you can achieve a unique look and remain true to the style of the time. Vintage sunglasses cases can also be bought to add a fun twist to modern sunglasses. With a classic brand such as Ray Bans, a vintage sunglasses case can be a unique accessory and a great conversation point. Fashionistas and sunglasses aficionados alike will be interested in seeing your vintage sunglasses case and you can protect your sunglasses while making a statement.
