HANDMADE ACETATE SUNGLASSES&EYEGLASSES

ACETATE:ALL RAEN sunglasses and eyeglasses are produced from sheets of high level acetate,the highest-grade cellulose acetate available.Acetate is a high quality plastic originating from the renewable resources of wood pulp and natural cotton fibers.It has become the standard raw material used to build high fashion and long lasting glasses.Most high-end sunglasses and eyeglass manufacturers exclusively use the known brand acetate for their products,and we are no exception.Acetate retains itscolor brightness impeccably over time because its hue is embedded in the material rather than sprayed on which also prevents and color peeling.Unique aging stabilizers in acetate also prevent fading,yellowing or other discoloration from UV light or skin contact.

STEP ONE:DESIGN

Our designers create modern takes on vintage inspired frames.Finding our inspiration in MidCentury design,we look to everything from furniture and architecture to boats and automobiles for influence for our collection.Working with classic shapes allows us to produce timeless pieces.

STEP TWO:CUTTING

We generate custom acetate combinations each season that are unique to our collection.Select styles each season are outfitted with one-of-a-kind acetate combinations are applied to thin flat sheets of acetate in preparation of cutting.A computer-controlled router then cuts each component of the frame directly from Auto CAD renderings created by our RAEN design staff.

STEP THREE:MILLING&POLISHING

Each individual frame component is outfitted with its hardware by a highly trained technician, The frames are then "formed"according to their predetermined templates.After"forming"the senior technician checks each frame with a micrometer at tolerances of one-hundredth of an inch.Our frames then begin the polishing process by tumbling in a barrel of wood chips an small stones for about 12 hours.With the intricate design of our frames and the unique details of each style,each frame must be hand finished by one of our technicians.Each frame is hand finished/buffed using a polishing wheel, similar to the way jewelry is polished ,to ensure longer lasting luster.

STEP FOUR:FINAL ASSEMBLY

During final assembly technicians fasten arms to each frame with spring or five-barrel hinges and tiny screws,hinges function as the joint between the frame temple and each arm to maintain an effortless an secure bend arms, Because screws are made to loosen, the RAEN technicians use self-sinking/locking screws to ensure that are kept secure.
