Oscar de la Renta's upcoming line of sunglasses

　　
　　Oscar de la Renta's upcoming line of sunglasses aren't your average mall kiosk shades.
Set for a Spring 2012 launch, the new eyewear collection, designed in collaboration with Linda Farrow, encompasses nine styles, all completely handmade. Each pair is crafted from materials inspired by the designer's ready-to-wear and jewelry collection (white jade, coral, mother of pearl and snakeskin jasper, to name a few) and costs between $300 and $1,000. WWD reports that one pair even has, "a rose motif on frames hand-carved from woolly mammoth tusk that was sourced in Siberia and is more than 12,000 years old."
We think each silhouette looks like a mini work of art: probably the most unique sunnies we've seen since Prada's festive baraque moment last year.
What do you think? Would you buy woolly mammoth tusk sunglasses? (Or keep it real casual and such with the precious jewels and gold?)

Sunglass Hut To Customer: Italy And China Are The Same

　　Brett tried on a pair of "Made in Italy" Ray-Bans at a Sunglass Hut and liked them, but they were the display model so he had to come back to pick up his own a few days later. When he did, he discovered that the real pair he bought said "Made in China," and in his opinion they felt lower quality.
“
My girlfriend and I went to a Sunglass Hut about 3 weeks ago and tried on some sunglasses. I found a pair that I really like and my girlfriend liked as well. So I noted the name and style (Ray-Ban) and thanked the lady who helped us. So my mother gave me a gift card for my birthday present, not enough to buy them all but enough to get a third or so. So I went and got them with my girlfriend and we went to the beach with some friends. When I bought them the same lady (who I found out that was the store manager) told me that she ran out of the models that I wanted and she gave me the display models. They had a nice firm build quality and said Made in Italy, so I accepted them and was satisfied.
Although I wanted new glasses I excepted the displays and I asked if I could come back and return them later for new ones, which she said was perfectly alright. She then told me when the next shipment comes in and to just drop by and trade them — which I did.
I didn't check the glasses until I got back into the car. That's when I was showing my sister how one could tell genuine Ray-Bans and I noticed that they were Made in China. I stopped there as the previous models were Made in Italy. The old ones that I traded (Italy) were extremely sturdy, it felt as though I could wear them without having to worry about them breaking. The new ones (China) were extremely flimsy, they didn't feel like they should cost $169 dollars and they made me feel extremely regretful because I could have gotten polarized sunglasses that were made in China over at Wal-mart.
I'm sending you this email after my girlfriend who called Sunglass Hut (as I'm just too enraged to talk about it). What she told me was interesting, they claimed that Ray-Ban outsourced their sunglasses to China, I thought this was funny and I found some people around the internet saying that they do outsource (although on the Ray-Ban website they claim it takes 3-4 weeks to ship from Italy). Sunglass Hut also claimed that the Made in China sunglasses are of the same build quality as the Italian ones and not to discriminate (for lack of a better word) against the China-made sunglasses.
I thought this was fishy, but I don't know what else to do as I've gotten my money fully refunded as well as my gift card. I just thought the community would like to know this as well.

Real Sunglasses Wearing By Joes Houseles

Everyone mocked Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newcomer Dana Wilkey for repeatedly blabbing about her $25,000 sunglasses, but people can't stop talking about them.
"There is a store on Canon Drive in Beverly Hills called Luxuriator, and it is the infamous store that I got my $25,000 glasses at," says Wilkey on her BravoTV.com blog (ending her sentence in a preposition!). "Take my word for it, the store is breathtaking! Actually Franco, the owner who is an amazing personality in his own right, has glasses that go up to $100,000 -- so my pair is small fry."

Wilkey notes how she understands the extravagant eyewear isn't for everyone -- like those who have a tendency to lose glasses or who, say, HAVE TO PAY THE RENT!
"They aren't going to feel super different than a regular pair of high-end glasses," she admits. "But if you are a person who loves to wear jewels daily and can afford it, I can tell you they are beautiful and loads of fun to wear."

Wilkey goes on to liken the glasses to a "piece of art."
Only in Beverly Hills.
Incidentally, Luxist.com reports that one of Franco's other clients is Paris Hilton, niece of Kyle Richards, who scoffed of the opulent eyewear. Just sayin'...
