Chanel Sunglasses

honey · Gucci

i don't know about online (i was searching earlier and didn't find any), but i've priced them in a local sunglass store and they were around $260.

I would be VERY wary of any online stores selling Chanel (except Chanel itself and I'm not sure if they sell online). Chanel is one of those brands that is super hyper about who they allow to sell their goods...

I've also read estimates that 80-90% of designer sunglasses on eBay are fake, so be careful there, too.

Lilykind · Hermes

I think it would be best to have Chanel priced in at one of their boutiques or a B&M store authorized to sell them. I have a similar pair (style #5030) with slightly different sides that I got for $220 at Bloomie's.

BTW, they're gorgeous and worth every cent.

I have a pair from Neimans that big dark tortise shell (vs. typical brown) in plastic with big Cs on the side. I would go to a reputable eyeware of department store because Chanel is knocked of so much. This weekend, I even saw a hair rubberband with rhinestone interlocking Chanel Cs. It was gaudy and only $30 so obviosly it wasn't real but I'm sure someone may buy one thinking it was real because it was being sold in a really nice, cute boutique.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I thought they were around $250, but when I saw them at a few places online it said $400. I am only going to buy them at Neimans, Saks or Nordstrom. I just like to look at things online and check out styles first. I just didn't want to fall in love with a style that is not a real Chanel style. Any sites out there that are real chanel, so I can stare for a while before I go to the store and buy them?
