If you think that's messed up, learn about how Luxottica acquired Oakley sunglasses. Short story is that they threatened them, crashed their stock, and then bought them out for a dirt cheap price. Oakley glasses were sold in Luxottica owned stores. Oakley told them that they were charging too much. Luxottica didn't like that and crushed them.

I worked as a truck driver and delivered materials for Luxottica, i also got once to walk in a factory, i have to say, they use the best plastic ( base plastic comes from Switzerland) and in a pair of glasses goes more hand finishing than i imagined, i didn't expeted to have so many steps and so much quality control over every single pair, once out of the factory i understoo where the money goes. Also the manufacturing is done in Europe ( mostly Italy) where wages are high so they don't employ kids in a factory in Bangladesh. Not to mention their glasses are actually very good quality. I wear glasses due to poor vision and the first pairs were cheaper alternatives because i couldn't see the values, after often broken glases i bought a pair of raybans and it's still lasting. If they wouldn't provide the value people would not buy from them

@shaunbava1801 Жыл бұрын

I was going to comment that a lot of what they make is very good, they basically got a monopoly by being the "best", Luxottica and Safilo(arguably my last pair of safilo glasses were better than the luxottica ones I have now) make the best frames, best plastics, hinges and finish bar none that's how you become #1 and #2. Most of their competition manufactures in China and cuts corners, some are decent but many are of lower quality. When I was a child the optometrist always recommended luxottica and he'd tell you which brands were made by them and even steer you towards cheaper brands they were making. Only a sucker pays retail you can find luxottica frames all day long for less than $100 sometimes $75 and complete glass for $100-150. Generally if the eyeglass says made in Italy, Japan, or Germany they will be high quality and last a long time. Comparatively you can buy glasses by Zenni for like $35 but they are pretty cheap quality or Warby Parker for around $100 but there really isn't a huge difference in price plus in the case of Luxottica I know they are made in place with a living wage and no slave labor. Luxottica plays a lot games and does the mark up to mark down plus there is the whole insurance scheme they have which is really a discount program. People act shocked about eyeglasses but it is a fashion item and all high fashion has tremendous mark up, the glasses cost $10 to make and they sell for $150 well, the shirt cost $3 and they sell it for $80.

@Mnassify 9 ай бұрын

Your comment is spot on, i have tried so many sunglasses but keep coming to original ray bans, people who say that are the same must have a counterfeit, because unfortunately by being the best pair of sunglasses they get copied a lot so buy from a reputable seller.

If you want nice sunglasses go to shady rays. They offer a plethora of styles and tints and they are around 50$. Plus some of the profits go to help feeding kids and the homeless. And also kids with autism. They have already donated over 25 million meals and cleaned up more that 4.5 million plastic bottles from our oceans. If that doesnt sound good enough you can also get a mystery pair with an order for an extra 8$. My mystery pair was a blue tint wood frame worth 34$ that i got for 8$. And if you still aren't sure they offer a free replacement pair no questions asked if you break or lost your sunglasses. Fuck ray bands.

Luxottica (who owns ray ban, Oakley, LensCrafters, sunglass hut, etc.) own something like 70% of the western worlds glasses market. Around 1 billion people wear their glasses a year. A billion. They’re not a bad company to work for, BUT they’re ultra greedy. They consistently set unrealistic goals, and don’t hesitate to axe managers who don’t make them. And they rarely give a raise. A store manager barely makes anything more than your standard optician. And if the optician is licensed, it’s about the same. They’re an excellent starting point for a career in optometry or ophthalmology.

I love the argument of production, I'm not even sticking to sunglasses. Sofas, tvs, really anything cost almost nothing to make at a production level. What makes something cost money is the talent to come up with designs, talent to find the right market to target, talent to determine 10-20 year directions, and let's not forget the talent to manufacture and distribute. Say you pay illegally dirt cheap wages, it would still technically cost more than $10-$15 to produce those things. This is why the buyers market is such a great thing to have access to as well, because that's how you as a business can buy these things at significantly lower prices based off deals/negotiations to sell/promote their product. If it's such a scam, make something new and flashy like PIT Viper and enjoy your day. Don't hate your competition. Take advantage of your obscurity and explode on the scene

Luxottica was founded by recently passed away Leonardo Del Vecchio, who grew up poor in an orphanage in Italy and then became one of world's welthiest men. He was loved by his employees that he always treated respectfully and generously

Yeah they didn’t treat Oakley very kindly. And probably other brands and definitely not the customers.

I recently contacted a factory in China that makes speakers, after getting into contact with one of the owners he explained to me which companies manufacture through them. I asked him what it costs to make and he told me, if they manufacture a speaker they spend around 300$ and the company who's brand is on there sells that same speaker for 1200$.
