Ray-Ban Wayfarer Folding Sunglasses in ‘Tortoise’ with Brown Lenses

View / Buy

Kate Middleton wears a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer Folding Sunglasses.

The Duchess wears style number RB4105, the Wayfarer Folding Classic frames in the colour ‘Tortoise’ with B-15 lenses (polarised, brown).

We saw Kate wear the sunglasses regularly between 2014 and 2017. We’ve spotted her wearing them to 15 different public engagements in total.

The Duchess is clearly a fan of Ray-Ban Sunglasses. We know that she owns at least four pairs.

About the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Folding Classic Sunglasses:

It’s no surprise that Kate opted for the stylish folding Wayfarer frames.  The innovative feature means she can quickly throw them into one of her small clutch bags or slip them into a jean pocket during royal engagements.  

The durable and compact frames are designed in the iconic Ray-Ban shape and constructed with a folding design, which makes them both stylish and portable. Ray-Ban refer to the Wayfarer Folding Sunglasses as “an authentic icon of unconventional spirit, reinterpreted into new functional sunglasses”.

Where to buy Kate’s Ray-Ban sunglasses:

At the time of writing, you can buy the Wayfarer sunglasses from:

  • Ray-Ban.com (USA)  $163 USD
  • Ray-Ban.com (UK)  £137 GBP

Note:  Ray-Ban does ship sunglasses worldwide.

Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer Classic Sunglasses in Tortoise/Brown

Exact Match! Look as polished as Kate in these Ray-Ban sunglasses. The tortoise-coloured frames are perfect for travelling and ideal for throwing into a small bag. As Kate has proven, they’ll look chic with any outfit. Throw them on for the school run with a pair of mom jeans or wear with a pretty summer dress at an event.

Ray-Ban’s glasses can be remixed with different frame and lens colours if you’d like to customise them.
