Summer is coming; a piece of good sunglasses can not only play the role of eye protection, but also reflect a person’s taste. However, in the high-profit sunglasses retail industry, products quality varies greatly. The similar sunglasses’ prices difference can be tens or even hundreds of dollars. As ordinary consumers, how to choose it?
As a professional eyewear manufacturer, we suggest consumers to purchase the sunglasses from a regular or a certain well-known enterprise’ products. Because counterfeit goods or shoddy inspection products are often not qualified, quality can not be guaranteed. Such sunglasses can not protect our eyes; long-term wearing will also cause some damages to our eyes. So, how should we identify the authenticity of sunglasses and get the products we really need? Here are just a few simple methods.
The first way is to check the products codes. Actually it is very simple, unlike fashionable dresses and bags; each pair of sunglasses has its own model codes and color codes which are specifically set by the manufacturer. These codes can be founded out in their official website. If one product has no model code, or models and styles don’t match which are sourced from authoritative website, it’s naturally counterfeit goods.
The second way is to check the certificate accompanied. Take an example, Italy has many world famous brands of glasses, also has the world’s most renowned eyewear manufacturers.
Safilo Group is the world’s largest acetate eyewear, metal eyewear, buffalo horn eyewear producer, based in Italy. Basically all the top brands of sunglasses are their products, such as Burberry, Dior, Gucci, Armani, Valentino, YSL etc. They strictly control the sales channels, not wholesale the products easily. In the United States, only those optical shops which get national industry certifications are eligible to purchase from Safilo. And there will be professional people who will supervise the shops and franchised stores, not allow a malicious competition of price reduction. Each pair of Safilo glasses will be accompanied with a certificate. If without Safilo certificate product, it must be faked. For example, regarding some imitation brands, styles can be realistic, but the certificate is not easy to be as a forgery.
In addition, we can identify the quality from sunglasses craftsmanship, look at the joint points of sunglasses components, the polishing, grinding etc. a pair of good sunglasses, the details treatment is also good. But for some imitated products, although the appearance is almost similar, some details are not treated well.
