My glasses broke. And i just had new lenses put in them.
Oliver Peoples of Soho, where i bought them during the dot com boom, told me that:
1) the frame isn’t available anymore because frames have to change every 2 years because they are fashion
2) they only expect their good plastic frames to last 5 years if you’re lucky.
Made to break. Nice business model.
In the meantime, they are ducktaped together and hold for about an hour at a time if I’m lucky.
Hmm. I wonder if that 2 year fashion thing is related to my eye exam I get every two years. Perhaps superglue will do the trick?
You should buy your glasses online instead. They’re much, much cheaper. I found out about all this stuff at http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/.
