Arnette is an active lifestyle eyewear brand that emerged in the early 1990s as a staple of Californian surf and skate culture. Founded by Greg Arnette, the brand quickly became synonymous with the 'X Games' generation due to its wrap-around styles and durable designs.

In 1999, the brand was acquired by Bausch & Lomb, but it eventually became part of the Luxottica Group (now EssilorLuxottica) portfolio. While the brand retains its creative roots in the United States and Italy, manufacturing primarily takes place in major production hubs, including Italy and China, depending on the specific product line and accessory. Today, it stands as a key global player in the sustainable and youth-oriented eyewear market.
