Traveler Duffle

John Freeman founded Johnny Fly on his dining room table as a simple hobby over a decade ago, but soon that hobby would become a passion project that became the brand you know today.

John set out to create eyewear using alternative materials with a touch of nature. The result? Super comfortable frames that feature the latest technology with a focus on innovation and style.

Johnny Fly began online and within the first few years grew an international customer base, their sunglasses were literally “flying” all over the world. In 2017, a major dream came true! John and the team opened their flagship store in Johnny Fly’s hometown of Charlotte, located in the vibrant, artistic neighborhood of NODA. 

The store has been a pillar of the company, allowing a space for people to get the full Johnny Fly experience, where customers can connect with each other and get to know the faces behind the brand.  But, don't worry if you can’t make it to the Flagship Store, you can find Johnny Fly at pop-ups in cities all over the country!
