Pair Eyewear

We just hosted our first-ever Cook Club potluck, and it was a huge success! Cook Club is Pair Eyewear's newest initiative where employees explore different cultures through food and storytelling. This month, we dove into “Korean American” by Eric Kim. Over the past few weeks, our team members have been busy in their kitchens, cooking up incredible dishes while learning about Korean culture and Eric’s personal journey. Last week, we came together for a delicious potluck where we showcased our best and favorite dishes from the book. It was a fantastic afternoon filled with delicious food, shared stories, and cultural appreciation. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this event so memorable. Looking forward to our next culinary adventure! 

We are excited to announce that Pair Eyewear is now officially available to purchase in the UK and Australia. We are also proud to officially announce the opening of our second manufacturing facility in Irvine, California to help support our expansion in the US and globally for years to come. As the first company to invent fashionable switchable top frames, this milestone is a huge step forward. We are proud to keep investing in research and development to keep growing our family of patents and product lines as we eye expansion into other markets. You can read Inc. Magazine Ali Donaldson's scoop on the company’s global expansion and what this move means for Pair’s future and more in Forbes by Alexandra York and Zoya Hasan. This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our incredible team, dedicated customers, and our valued investors who share our vision for the future. The collective dedication to Pair's mission of spreading joy through eyewear has propelled us to this extraordinary milestone, and for that, we are profoundly grateful. https://lnkd.in/gkUdBWpz https://lnkd.in/guPb8E3V
