Oliver Peoples' glasses. Are they worth the money?
I'm thinking of purchasing these frames (https://oliverpeoples.com/shop/men/optical/execut…). They cost $595. From looking at the financial statements (http://i.imgur.com/mcydnGa.jpg) it seems like Luxottica as a whole spends 32% of their revenues on creating the product. Since Oliver People's is a designer brand I'm also assuming that even more of the cost is going towards branding (maybe a COGS of 27%). This means I'd be paying $160 for physical glasses and $435 for the name.
I've checked them out at the store and they seems so nice. Do you guys have them. How have they held up? Would you guys recommend someone to buy them. I'm certain my insurance won't cover OP frames.
I have some OP sunglasses and used to have some eye glasses as well. The quality is great and the design is classic (my sunglasses are actually 9 years old - while I don't wear them daily, they don't look totally dated and are my backup pair I keep in my car). Despite sitting in my car most of the time for the past 2-3 years the plastic hasn't warped, etc.
If you have halfway decent vision coverage you should be able to apply your eyeglass credit to offset part of the cost. They can be found at many major retailers and chains which accept insurance - you just may need to shop around different optometrists. I used it for my eyeglasses when I got them and had really shitty vision coverage at the time.
I'm not sure what OP means by "worth it." They're glasses -- so you're paying for the style and the name.
Keep in mind that if your prescription has changed, you'll have to pay for new lenses. Those can be pricey as well.
Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it?
Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut.
I do have a slightly better haircut you liar
Have my SB, you beautiful devil...
Says the guy with the user name Goyard???
Personally, I think they are worth the money, although you may be getting ripped off. I have a pair of Maslon cocobolo, and spent far less than $595.00.
If you have good coverage with your company, then I say you should do it. They are a timeless design that should last you forever. In addition, the quality is quite nice, with fun little details peppered around the frames and the arms.
They are nice but go to a reputable/stylish optical shop and look at a variety of frames. There are so many nice ones today. For example, I recently got Carter Bonds and really like them - both the style and the lightweight of them.
I'm pretty cheap but I didn't want to go cheap on something I wear on my face all day. Plus, as said above, decent optical insurance will offset some of the cost.
Very high quality and not falling out of style - at least conservative models - but you're definitely paying for brand name.
OP glasses are people with really small heads imo
The nicer the glassess the better the odds to get a rez at Dorsia!
They're worth the money 100%. When looking at glasses I considered warby parker and other brands but they were complete muff cabbage. They felt cheap and easily breakable. My Oliver Peoples glasses feel like I could own them for a lifetime, and I cannot tell you how many compliments I get (and I don't even think they look that great).
I have a pair and I really like them, but I don't know if they are worth the price...
The only OP's I would get are Brad Pit's glasses in Fight Club. I could walk around in a bathrobe and OP's feel like a bad-ass.
So yes, you are buying them. (easiest decision of your life)
here is your link to buy them:
