Giving Back from Head to Toe: Warby Parker Brings 'Buy One, Give One' Model to Eyeglasses

The buy one/give one model of corporate philanthropy pioneered by Blake Mycoskie‘s TOMS Shoes is catching on with other entrepreneurs catering to design-minded customers. One such retail venture that caught our eye: Warby Parker, a company founded by four friends who wanted to create boutique-quality, classically crafted eyewear at a revolutionary price point. The price they settled on, a wallet-friendly $95, includes not only frames fitted with prescription lenses but also delivery of another pair of glasses to someone in need, through the company’s partnership with RestoringVision.org.
