Arnette
Arnette is a brand of eyewear, primarily sunglasses and optical frames, owned by Luxottica Group S.p.A. since 2012. The brand is known for its association with action sports, particularly surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding.
Founded in 1992 by Greg Arnette in Orange County, California, Arnette initially focused on creating eyewear for the youth lifestyle market. The company distinguished itself through its designs, materials, and marketing efforts, quickly gaining popularity among athletes and enthusiasts in the action sports community.
Prior to its acquisition by Luxottica, Arnette operated as an independent brand. Following the acquisition, the brand became part of Luxottica's extensive portfolio of eyewear brands.
Arnette products are generally available through authorized retailers, including optical stores, sporting goods stores, and online retailers. The brand continues to release new collections and designs, maintaining its focus on the action sports market.
