I don't really have a pair of Designer Sunglasses…for the most part the ones i have now are nine west which are cute but i want something else. I’ve pricey shoes and purses but i don't know if Sunglasses are worth the money b/c they have the ability to just break so easily. What are ur opinions??

Do u love ur Designer glasses?? How long have u had em?

Answer:
Honey, I have had Prada, Versace, Oakley, D&G, and Tiffany & Co.

My dog ate my Oakleys and my D&Gs.

I left my Versace pair in my car, and my vehicle got broken into and they got stolen…

I am left with my Pradas and my Tiffany's. They are awesome to have, but SO not worth the money if you are always on the go like me. ( I tend to leave stuff laying around, and I’m pretty forgetful some times…)

I have had my Pradas for about a year, and my Tiffany's I got last month from my Fiance. I’ve come to realize that whenever I am not going anywhere special(like the grocery store, or out to the mall) I just wear my cheapies i got at Gottschalks for $20…so I don't lose my other ones!

Get some, just don't lose them! And be careful, because it's really easy! LOL

Answer:
Well to be honest you can get really cool pair of glasses that aren't Designer that look cool and protect your eyes. Only good thing about Designer is the name, but I do love my D&G Sunglasses I got as a present from my Aunt and Uncle. Also my cousin got some Gucci ones (from my aunt and uncle) and they’re really nice too. I've sat on the glasses before, dropped them a good few times and they haven't broken or been scratched once and I've had them since last Easter. I'm sure normal average glasses are just as good though.
Answer:
i was on a boat once. one of the people on it with me had on Designer Sunglasses by D&G or something like that. im positive they were Designer and positive that yes, they were real. they cost a ton of money, like $400 or something. she leaned over the boat to look at something, and plop, there went $400 straight to the bottom of a 20 foot deep lake.

your right, they do break so easily, or they can fall off into a lake like what happend to the lady on the boat with me. (swear to god thats a true story, i laughed so hard once she was far enough away not to hear me)

Answer:
no, dont spend many bucks on pricey Sunglasses when you can get the same pair for 10$ Those Designers scam us up by putting a label on their products and making tons of money from it. You can save so much money by not buying labels, which means more $ to buy other things. =]
Answer:
no, they’re not

i had Gucci Sunglasses and they broke like 3 months after I had them. So stupid, i left them in the front pocket of my bag and it was faced down and when i opened it the next day, they were cracked :(

but if you really want one, go to Century 21 or TJ Maxx and you can get Oscar De La Renta and kenneth Cole for like 20 $$

or you can just get regular, if ud like

Answer:
I'm like you - I spend more money on shoes and handbags than Sunglasses. Most of the time, no one can tell if you paid $300 for a pair of Sunglasses anyway so I just by mine (ALL) for under $20. My favorite site are 80spurple.com and americanchic.net/Sunglasses.html for cheap Sunglasses. I agree - Designer style Sunglasses are not worth paying more than $50 for!
Answer:
I dont have any and don't want any. The most I would but for a pair of Sunglasses would be 35$. I get my sun glasses at like CVS. L0L. If you really want a nice pair of Sunglasses that arent to costly go to the Sun glasses Hut.
Answer:
Well, I had some dior Sunglasses and they looked great! but I sat on them - gutted!

I definitely think they're worth the money especially if you live in a sunny place. If you take care of them go ahead! It all makes us feel better too once we've got nice Sunglasses because everyone looks at them and compliments you on them!

Answer:
Have you ever stood and stared at a sunglass display in a store window wondering what on Earth could possibly possess people to pay thousands of dollars for a piece of metal, wire and plastic to sit on the end of their nose? That's a pretty common reaction from the average Joe when they find themselves faced with the exorbitant price of a pair of Designer Sunglasses. The question is, are Designer Sunglasses really worth the money? Or are ambitious retailers just taking advantage of the fact that most people think more massive (or in this case, more expensive) is superior?

In most cases it's the latter. A current study done by an organization known as Street Cents showed that when it came to effectiveness, comfort and durability, the large name brands had very little on their generic counterparts. All of the Sunglasses surveyed provided effective protection for the eyes from UV rays, the harmful rays given off by the sun that cause your skin to turn a lovely golden brown and can cause irreparable damage to your eyes.

When it comes to choosing a pair of Sunglasses you should always stick with ones labeled “100% Protection from UV Rays,” which per industry standards translates to blockage of at least 98% of UV light; however, as most sunglass industries adhere to this standard the price tag has very little to do with it. A five dollar pair of Sunglasses might be just as effective when it comes to protecting your eyes as their two thousand dollar counterparts.

Durability is another question many people ask when they plunk down the price for a pair of Designer Sunglasses. There's no denying the fact that regardless of how careful you are, your Sunglasses are going to receive some abuse. They're going to be scuffed, scratched, scraped, dropped, bent and broken, and that's before they fall into the hands of a member of the five and under crowd! If a company is going to put a three hundred dollar price tag on their product, the least they could do is make sure it could stand up to the abuse of daily wear-right?

Look at the Titanic. The ship cost seven million, five hundred thousand dollars to build back in 1912, which is the rough equivalent of four hundred million dollars this day. (Gotta love inflation.) Millions of dollars, and one little iceberg wipes it out. If you needed proof that more pricey doesn't necessarily mean better, there you have it!

The same is true of Designer Sunglasses. While there are some companies that take the time to be sure that their frames are reinforced and their lenses as scratch proof as possible, when you get down to the bottom line you find out that they're each bit as vulnerable as the pair you saw next to the checkout at the grocery store.

So are Designer Sunglasses really worth the money you're going to pay for them? That's entirely up to you. Statistically talking, Designer Sunglasses are no different than their dollar store companions. The difference is in the way they make you feel. If a pair of Sunglasses with a four hundred dollar price tag brings a smile to your face and a bounce to your step, go for it. If four hundred dollars can make you feel like a million bucks, it was worth every penny.
