Designer Sunglasses Crew come help me

[yne721 10+ year member]

i love wearing and buying sunglasses, i probably have around 15 pairs, all different, but as of today, i haven't spent anymore than like $30 on a pair. Well I've found a pair of sunglasses that I love, and was wondering if anyone in sunglasses crew had any experience with this brand, or style in particular so they could tell me if they're actually worth it....

the pair i'm looking at are the Victory model by Oliver Peoples.

The cheapest I can find them online is for about 300 before shipping. In the opinion of people who spend that kind of money on sunglasses, are they worth it?

pics just for reference...

Not my style. And definitely not for 300.

i'm not asking if people like them. i'm asking if the all around product is actually worth paying that much for, as far as durability, build quality, feel, and all that stuff goes.

My girl has a bunch of expensive glasses, like $200-$400+ and even she will admit that they arent worth it. Its worth it only if u don't lose them and actually take care of them. If not then don't waste ur money. They'll break just as easily as cheap glass will.

 

They are of a much better quality than knock offs of them, but u can buy knock offs for like 15-20 bucks. The screws come loose more easily and things of that nature but generally look exactly the same.

They look like aviators

Check out Rayban, they should have something close for cheaper.

I don't believe Oakley makes any aviator style glasses, I could be wrong though.

Oliver Peoples are very nice. I my self have a few pair of sun glasses, I spent $750 on a pair of Versace's at a Versace outlet. I did not do it because I could, I did it because I wanted them. I love all my glasses, if you like them buy them

thanks for the input. i think i'm going to start with a pair of mosley tribes, seems like 150 is a better starting point to see whether or not i feel like 300 would be worth it.
