Bunny Eyez Glasses Update | Shark Tank Season 15

Sisters Jenny Hutt and Stacy Fritz were frustrated when they couldn’t read comfortably while getting their hair colored, as the dye kept dripping onto their glasses. So, along with their partner Andrea Gluck, they created Bunny Eyez, tiltable reading glasses that can flip like opera glasses to stay clean and out of the way. Will the sharks see their vision? Find out in our Bunny Eyez update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Bunny Eyez after Shark Tank.

Jenny, Stacy, and Andrea entered Shark Tank Season 15, seeking $200,000 for 10% equity in their glass company. Ultimately, they made a deal with Daymond for $200,000 for 20% equity. The deal also gives Daymond a $2 per unit royalty, but once he recoups his investment, the royalty ends and his equity drops to 15%.

In terms of a Bunny Eyez update, the company gained celebrity support from names like Hoda Kotb and Kaley Cuoco, which helped drive strong website traffic and increased sales.

Shark Tank Bunny Eyez Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Jenny Hutt, Stacy Fritz, Andrea Gluck
• Business: Tiltable and flip-up reading glasses
• Ask: $200,000 for 10% equity
• Result: $200,000 for 20% equity, $2/per unit royalty. Equity drops to 15% and royalty goes away once the investment is recouped
• Shark: Daymond John

Sisters Jenny and Stacy, with their business partner Andrea, walked into Shark Tank to pitch Bunny Eyez, their line of flippable and tiltable reading glasses.

Jenny got the idea while getting her hair done. She needed to read, but the stylist kept bumping into her glasses, so she couldn’t keep them on.

That moment led to a new kind of reader, one that flips and tilts for convenience. They named the company after Jenny and Stacy’s late mother, Bunny.

The product’s key feature is a patented hinge that lets the glasses tilt forward or flip completely, making it easier to read while multitasking.

In addition, the glasses are also designed to be stylish, offering both function and fashion.

As the sharks examined the samples, Barbara Corcoran asked about customer response.

Andrea shared that they’ve sold over 200,000 units and made just over $5 million in sales since 2018.

They did $600,000 in their first year, jumped to $1.9 million in 2019, and hit $1.3 million in 2020.

But by 2021, sales dropped to $700,000, and in 2022, they reached only $400,000.

Jenny explained they faced personal setbacks. During the pandemic, they struggled with supply issues and were caring for their father, who had cancer.

He passed away on the same day they relaunched their website in late 2022.

Despite that, the business remained debt-free and self-funded, and they had already recovered their initial investment.

Each pair of glasses costs $3.70 to manufacture, and cases cost $0.60. Retail prices range from $35 to $40. Sales came mainly from their website and Amazon.

Daymond John then asked why they needed a shark. Jenny said they were looking for help with distribution and wanted to move into big-box stores.

Barbara followed up by asking how they planned to make that happen. The team said their goal was to get point-of-sale displays that show how the glasses work.

Kevin O’Leary asked why they hadn’t licensed their patent to a large eyewear company. They said talks were already in progress.

Still, Kevin passed, saying he wasn’t the right fit. Mark Cuban passed as well, saying he didn’t think social media was the best channel for this type of product.

Barbara bowed out, too, saying retail would be a difficult path.

That left Daymond. He said he liked the product and believed in its potential. He offered $200,000 for 20% equity, plus a $2 royalty per pair sold.

Once he recovered his investment, equity would drop to 15%.

Lori Greiner called it clever and said Daymond fit better, so she exited the negotiations.

With that, the ladies accepted Daymond’s offer and walked out with a deal.

Shark Tank Bunny Eyez Update

Our Bunny Eyez update found that after the episode aired, the founders posted a celebration photo on Instagram and shared their excitement about working with Daymond.

The brand also gained celebrity interest, including support from Hoda Kotb and Kaley Cuoco. The exposure led to a sharp spike in website traffic and sales.

Following the show, Bunny Eyez expanded its product line. They added blue-light blocking glasses, sunglasses, and prescription-ready frames.

They also launched limited-edition collections, including Anna Rainbow Pride 2024 and Andrew Rainbow Pride 2023.

Most products are priced at around $47. Their optical-grade frames go for $119.

In December 2024, Jenny revealed through Instagram that she had spent a day bringing Bunny Eyez to QVC, indicating that the company had secured a spot on the television retail channel.

In early 2025, she appeared on Kara Goldin’s podcast, Undaunted, where she talked about growing the business and navigating challenges.

At the time of this writing, all three founders remain fully involved in the business. Jenny also continues her work with SiriusXM. The other two remain fully involved in company operations.

The brand has leaned into community engagement. In both 2023 and 2024, they released Pride-themed products and used their platform to support the LGBTQIA+ community.

The company still sells through its website, Amazon, and now QVC.

Hopefully, this won’t be our final Bunny Eyez update.
