Paying Extra For Adrienne Vittadini AV 5026S Sunglasses

Make no mistake, these are great looking sunglasses. They also come equipped with the Adrienne Vittadini name. Is that something you're willing to pay a little extra for? Is it important to you that you have a well-known brand name?

No, I'm really kind of a cheapskate. I try to save money anywhere I can, so I can't see myself paying hundreds of dollars for a pair of sunglasses when I can get a perfectly good pair for twenty dollars. That's probably bad news for the Adrienne Vittadini company, but I'm being honest.

Thank you for being straight with us, Niner. Not everyone is dazzled by the Vittadini name. Personally, I don't see the big deal about designer labels, either.

Yeah, I know what you mean. As I stated before, you can probably find another pair of sunglasses that look just as good, made of similar if not identical materials, and provide just as much UV protection as these sunglasses and they would be available at a fraction of the cost, just because of the designer label. Sunglasses have specific functions, none of which are to display a brand name.

Sorry Ms. Vittadini, but it's how I feel.

Thanks for telling me what's on your mind, Niner. Take care and don't forget your sunglasses.
