Sunglasses: Quality, Disposability or Fashion – Amanda on the Street

Amanda on the Street, Video

Down on Venice Beach, where sunglasses are a must, Amanda asks people how much $$ they invest in their ocular protection.

I went through pair after pair of $2 sunglasses, usually crushing or losing or snapping them in artistic frustration after a couple of weeks.

I decided to try curing myself of the habit and bought a pair of “certified color-neutral” glasses at an Army post PX for $38. I guess that's important when you're shooting at stuff, or something. They were great shades, they actually provided a clearer view of stuff. I had them for a year or so. I have absolutely no idea what happened to them.

The pair in my jacket pocket right now cost $1. Lesson learned.

Every time I see one of these I'm struck with how cool Venice Beach boardwalk is. People are extremely outgoing and willing to talk. Seems like $10. is about what folks are willing to pay,though. even among the glitterari.

You shine there, Amanda. No wonder folks are doing pirouettes for you and offering their sunglasses to try on. Nice.

I used to work for an eyewear fashion mag — no guff — and wore $300 sunnies all the time. Now I have a $150 pair and a $9 copy for different occasions.

Sunglasses? $150 tops, and only because it'd have to be perscription.

I paid 12 dollars for my last pair and they have lasted almost 2 years. Expensive ones get lost quickly.

Last pair I bought was in the 1980s (~£5). But I was kindly given a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators (~£100?). So, uh, £something.

I go through so many pair of sunglasses a year that I hate paying more than $15 for them.

I have a weird bump on my nose that makes all glasses look askew. Unfortunately, I always forget it's there until I put glasses on. I got it in college when my girlfriend accidentally (?) rammed my head into the ground, thereby concussing me.

If somebody else *dropped* a pair of sunglasses I might pick 'em up, if they were nice. Otherwise, not much

$5. They will get lost or broken no matter how much you spend. Better to spend your money on circus peanuts. Good investment.

maximum $15 – they break so easily no matter the brand, so what's the point in investing?

$10 because I tend to lose and/or end up sitting on them…

I paid nearly $300 on a pair of sunglasses. They scratch just as easily as a $10 pair.

$10 because I always lose/break them.
