I have been wearing these frames daily for a month now. I wasn’t completely sure the quality would be as high as what you’d buy in a store before I received them, but these are actually quite durable. I have dropped them from my loft bed twice already (oops!) and they were absolutely fine (although I would not recommend that, lol).
Secondly, they are CUTE. I have received several compliments on them and these glasses definitely reflect my unique and vintage style. They do not look cheap at all. I was also a little worried that when I smiled my cheeks would hit the bottom of the frames, but they are perfectly positioned away from my face so that that doesn’t happen.
A tip: Make sure you measure your face, current glasses if you have them, and then remeasure and check the measurements of the glasses. And remeasure again! ;) Make sure your PD is accurate; I asked specifically for the measurement at my eye exam. Also, pay attention to frame shape. I wanted round glasses but knew I needed frames with a relatively flat top to align with the arch of my eyebrows. If you want a perfect fit you have to do the work yourself and research to make sure they’re for you!
The one tiny downside is that my lenses stick out quite a bit from the wire frames even though I ordered the thinnest lens option, but it’s not an issue. I also have extremely bad eyes, so it was kind of inevitable. The prescription is perfect.
Pros:
- seem durable
- unique and stylish vintage look
- great prescription
- perfect fit for my small face
- lightweight
- very affordable
- the brown leather case and cloth are very handy, good quality extras
Cons:
- lenses are thicker and stick out more than expected (strong prescription—I got the thinnest option)
- would not recommend for people who are really hard on their glasses—I don’t think these would hold up if you didn’t take proper care of them. Get plastic instead.
What would have been around $300 glassss for me
