What Sunglass Brands Are Available at a Corporate Gifting Activation?
The Short Answer: Over 1,000 Styles From 30+ Brands
Ninety Six Shades carries frames from more than 30 designer and premium eyewear brands. The full collection includes over 1,000 styles — but your event won't display all of them. Every activation is curated specifically for your guest demographics, event setting, and budget tier.
Here's what's available.
Premium Brands
These are the crowd-pleasers — universally recognized, high-quality, and comfortable for guests who may not wear designer eyewear regularly.
Ray-Ban, Oakley, Costa, Maui Jim, Under Armour, and Smith. These brands cover everything from classic aviators and wayfarers to sport-performance polarized lenses. For outdoor events like golf tournaments or destination incentive trips, this tier hits the sweet spot of perceived value and broad appeal.
Designer and Luxury Brands
For events where the gifting needs to match a five-star setting — President's Club trips, executive retreats, client appreciation dinners — the luxury tier delivers.
Gucci, Prada, Versace, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Tory Burch, Coach, and Michael Kors. These are the same frames guests would find at a high-end optical boutique, with full manufacturer warranties and authentic retail packaging.
Most President's Club programs and VIP Black selections draw from this group.
How the Collection Gets Curated for Your Event
You don't pick individual frames. The Ninety Six Shades team builds a collection based on your guest count, demographics, event type, and budget. A tech company sales kickoff in Austin gets a different mix than a luxury real estate client dinner in Palm Beach.
The typical on-site display features 50–200+ frames, giving guests enough variety to find a pair that feels personally chosen — not randomly assigned. For the full breakdown, see our guide to curating a designer sunglass collection for your activation.
What About VIP Gift Boxes?
Recipients who receive a VIP sunglass gift box select from the full online catalog — the complete 1,000+ frame library, not just what fits on a display table. The tier they're assigned (VIP Red, Gold, or Black) determines which brands are available.
