Detailed Business Description: Warby Parker
Warby Parker Business Model
Warby Parker is a privately-held company that designs, manufactures and sells eyewear exclusively online. Warby Parker's eyewear is designed to be trendy and well-made as well as cheap, competing with much more expensive fashion eyewear as well as more mainstream glasses. Warby Parker's glasses, which come in limited run models and include a monocle model, utilize anti-reflective, polycarbonate prescription lenses. Warby Parker attracts customers via showrooms, and home and virtual try-on kits.
Warby Parker partners with VisionSpring to give a pair of glasses for each sold. This "buy a pair, give a pair" philanthropy is an important part of Warby Parker's brand image, designed to appeal to younger buyers who are likely to wear glasses for fashion and to own multiple pairs.
Warby Parker was founded in 2010 by Andrew Hunt, David Gilboa, Jeffrey Raider, and Neil Blumenthal, and is headquartered in New York, New York.
