FAQs
What makes the Wayfarer Folding Classic unique?
It combines the iconic Wayfarer design with a practical folding mechanism, making it highly portable. This specific edition is also limited and features exclusive branding.
Are these sunglasses suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the nylon frame is lightweight, and the gradient lenses provide comfortable vision in various light conditions, making them suitable for extended wear.
What is the difference between gradient and solid lenses?
Gradient lenses are darker at the top and fade to lighter at the bottom, offering good protection from overhead sun while allowing more light through the bottom for clearer downward vision. Solid lenses have a uniform tint.
How do I clean the grey gradient lenses?
Use a soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for lenses. Gently wipe in a circular motion. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics.
Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?
Yes, Ray-Ban offers lens replacement services, or you can visit an authorized optician for replacements, especially for custom or limited edition models.
What does 'limited edition' mean for this product?
It means only a specific, small quantity (250 pieces globally in this case) were produced. Once sold out, they may not be available again.
Is the special compact case included with every pair?
Yes, this limited edition comes complete with a special Wayfarer Folding compact case designed to fit the folded sunglasses.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel stiff when folding/unfolding.
Gently work the hinges back and forth. If stiffness persists, a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant might be carefully applied to the hinge points, but consult a professional optician if unsure.
Lenses are scratched.
Minor scratches may be unavoidable with use. For significant scratches that impair vision, consider professional lens replacement or purchasing a new pair.
Frame feels loose or wobbly.
The screws at the hinges may need tightening. Use a small precision screwdriver suitable for eyewear. If you are uncomfortable doing this, take them to an optician.
Case does not close properly.
Ensure the sunglasses are folded correctly and fully inside the case before closing. Check for any debris obstructing the closure.
