Warby Parker

Warby Parker is an American online retailer of prescription glasses and sunglasses, based in New York City. The name "Warby Parker" derives from two characters that appear in a journal by author Jack Kerouac. Warby Parker designs its product in-house, and orders its own materials, such as acetate, from Italy and then manufactures frames at the same Chinese factories as competitors such as Luxottica. In addition to eyeglasses and sunglasses, Warby Parker sells monocles, which are available with prescription lenses.
