1. Back when I worked selling sunglasses they were like $1-3 cost selling for 60-100x.

   With that kind of margin the largest player can buy up all the competition, and maintain its margins. Hence Luxotica.

   With the luxury brands, on a generally well made product, your money is going toward image- but no matter the brand it’s all conspicuous consumption and mate signaling.

3. It’s the confluence of logos and dumb fuck you money. A match made in hell.

4. Fleecing rich idiots is a time-honored tradition.

5. *surprised pikachu face*
