Warby Parker is celebrating its five-year anniversary with a special Half-Decade collection. The collection features "five and a half" of its best selling frames that will come in a special blue hue to match the company's branding. All of the styles come from the Warby Parker's first-ever collection and are engraved with a commemorative "5" on the temple tip. The "half" style refers to the company's monocle style—named after Clue character Colonel Mustard—which has been one of the brand's signature items since launching in 2010.
The brand also celebrated the milestone by having the "Biggest Smallest Parade Ever," taking over a small stretch of street in the middle of Manhattan and have a parade complete with a marching band, giant balloons, and floats. The video of the event can be seen above.
It's been quite the ride in the past five years for Warby Parker. Since launching in 2010, it has grown to employ over 500 employees, opened 10 stores, and distributed glasses to over a million people in need worldwide. Earlier this week, it also landed the top spot on Fast Company's list of Most Innovative Companies list, in recognition of "building the first great made-on-the-Internet brand."
