Wow, this is worse than high-end lingerie in terms of how much one pays for so little material. I assume that the price of the lens is separate, since that depends on your perscription.
They do look nice, though. As does high-end lingerie.
I just have an endless supply of nice broken glasses. I hate buying ones that are too expensive anymore unless it is for function (sports). I don’t have corrective lenses.
the $900 CAD was for lenses too. top-end i’m sure. i didn’t really care to ask b/c i’m not going to cheap out on lenses and end up with clunky lenses on a tiny frame.
i’d say they bring a little more value than expensive lingerie. they’ve outlasted every other comparable pair of glasses i’ve owned by a wide margin, and have already brought far more value than the 4 or 5 pairs i would’ve otherwise burned through since i bought the lindbergs, and they don’t seem like they’re going to break any time soon.
i think in the long-run, if you’re going to wear glasses for the rest of your life, and treasure reliability, why not buy ones that will last for potentially forever and are 1/3 of the weight? i’ll update you guys if they ever do break but my experience thus far has been great.
i think buying lindbergs is more akin to buying a high-end watch or shoes. they’re far more comfortable, more reliable and more fashionable and you pay for that. i didn’t think they were that expensive to be honest considering crap brands like burberry and D&G go for a little over half the price of lindbergs anyway and come with virtually no added reliability or comfort. also, i think it’s far more badass that lindberg lets their design speak for itself rather than slapping a “burberry” or “D&G” logo on the side.
Thanks Matt - those were the exact ones I wanted. frameless and minimalist. glad to hear they’re surviving. I got quoted around 650, but i know a few stores and expect to pay less.
