What is the most expensive pair of sunglasses you''ve owned?

[kenny]

For me it is Hobie polarized, for around $150.

I hate cheapo cheapo glasses.
They are are not sharp and clear.

 

[marcy]

Some red Ray Ban sunglasses and they were $150. Sad thing is I rarely wear my contacts anymore but those sunglasses motivate me to keep trying.

 

[Hera]

I have had a couple of Chanels each for around $400

 

[Kaleigh]

My dear son bought me a pair of Chanel sunglasses for Mother''s day last year. I love them!!!

The bad thing about glasses is it is so easy to scratch them.

 

[merrijoy]

$40.

My current Maui Jim's were over $350. They have wire frames and glass lenses though. I really wanted a pair with glass lenses! They scratch far less easily and just FEEL classy. I bought them with some money I received for my birthday last year though so nothing straight out of pocket.

I do not like cheap sunglasses. They feel uncomfortable to me and I just don't find myself wanting to wear them. And when I do, I am constantly breaking or losing them. My DH often says the first time he put some expensive sunglasses on after years of wearing cheap ones, it felt like he was wearing a Cadillac on his face...

. He has some Maui Jims too that he has had for a few years.

I however, am pretty careful with my pricey ones. The first pair of expensive ones I ever bought were some Oakley's that I bought when I was about 19. They were about $250. However, I had them until I was about 25 and lost them in the ocean in Cuba. $250 spread over 6 years is not so bad. I waited five years to buy new expensive ones, and hope they last at least as long if not longer.

I have had a few sports sunglasses for running and cycling that I tend to be harder on though and won't spend as much (i.e. less than $100) as I find I end up replacing them once a year or so.

My current sunglasses, from Coach. I think they were ~$250, but I used a GC from my in-laws. I told myself that if I kept my cheapie pair from Target- without losing or breaking them- for six months, I''d treat myself to a nice pair.

I''ve had them for a couple of years now and I treat them very well because I don''t want to have to replace them anytime soon. After I''m done wearing them, they ALWAYS go back into their hard case.

 

[Burberrygirl]

Gucci and I think they were about $300. I absolutely love them

 

[jewelz617]

Roberto Cavalli sunglasses $260 which I later sat on

My priciest pair now are my Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses which were $150.

 

[JSM]

$25, Rappala polarized.

 

[IloveAsschers13]

White rayban wayfarers. They were 150 but I got them on ebay for $51. I just got a really cute pair of kate spade''s at Nordstrom Rack and they were only $37! Go me!

 

[Dancing Fire]

a $200 pair of Revo

 

[PumpkinPie]

about 13$ ish..

 

[iheartscience]

Probably my Ray Ban aviators. They retail for around $140 but I got the hook up on them from the Ray Ban rep back when I was a buyer. I''m trying to find a new pair because I''m over the aviators, but nothing is standing out to me.

 

[pennquaker09]

Either the Maui Jims or the Dolce and Gabbana ones. I think I broke the D&G ones.

 

[JulieN]

Dior, $100.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

My Chanel sunglasses, $400 (and a gift). I''m super careful with them though and on vacations I usually bring a cheaper pair (which is good because I drop them a lot!).

I saw some gorgeous Bulgari sunglasses recently that I wanted but ughhh, also $400 - can''t afford it!

 

[lyra]

I don''t remember. Over $200? I have to get prescription sunglasses, so they''re always expensive and since my regular glasses are even more expensive, I cheap out on the sunglasses.

I wear sunglasses to drive year round.

 

[rierie26]

$150 is about as high as I can go. I always end up losing them, sitting on them, etc.

 

[that_someone_special]

about $120-$150... I ALWAYS lose them, or break them. I don''t spend the money on them any more. I''m perfectly happy with a cheap pair. If I can remember where I put them

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

For me it''s about 600. Louis vuitton black frame glasses with purple glitter...I had to have them!

 

[somethingshiny]

Most expensive non-rx were around $600, most expensive with RX were around $800 IF I had actually paid retail prices. However, I worked in the industry for many years and one of the perks is FREE stuff!!!

The most expensive I actually purchased were in the $150 area.

 

[Catmom]

I just paid $800 for my rx ones.

Non rx ones were about $200 polarized Oakley''s.

 

[wsu12]

Chanel-$350. Let it be noted that I stopped wearing them in favor of my Ray Ban''s about 2 years ago and now my husband wears them!

They are SO stretched out they fall off my head....I keep telling him he owes me a new pair.

 

[Sabine]

I''ve never spent more than $5 on a pair of sunglasses. I really hate wearing sunglasses and only wear them when I''m driving and I have to.

 

[luckynumber]

Prada. about $500 in your money

 

[susimoo]

Gucci about £150.

 

[Elmorton]

I got a pair of Coach as a gift a few years back - I think they retailed $150 or so...and then a couple of weeks ago I found another pair at an outlet for $80 - so that''s the most expensive I''ve ever bought.

Funny thing, too...I''m PARANOID about losing my sunglasses, but last Tuesday I carelessly left them in a dressing room. I didn''t realize it until this Saturday and I was so, so, so upset. My sweet DH did a ton of brainstorming to figure out where I might have left them, and shock of all shock the store had held on to them, and my shades and I were reunited. I really lucked out.

I have paid about $200 for a pair of polarized Kate Spade sunglasses. That was two pairs ago. I replaced them with a $110 pair of polarized Arnettes. Then my mother gave me the same Kate Spade glasses (without the polarizing) in a fun frame color (tortoise shell on the outside, green on the inside) that she got form BJs for (I think) around $70. I switch between the Arnettes and Kate Spades now.
