First off, you got your big online retailers like FramesDirect. They’re yelling about price match guarantees and “largest selection,” which sounds legit, right? Probably a good place to start if you’re lookin’ for something specific and want that feeling of, ya know, *authentic* Versace. But “price match guarantee” always makes me a little sus. Like, what are they *really* matching?
Then, you’ve got Versace’s own site. Fancy! They’re all about the “virtual try-on,” which, let’s be honest, is probably gonna make you look like a weirdo on your webcam, but hey, points for effort, right? Plus, they want you to “CONFIRM LOCATION.” Why are they so nosy? Just gimme the glasses, Versace!
And then there’s Amazon. Ah, Amazon. The land of everything. You can find Versace sunglasses there, alright. But, buyer beware! “Price and other details may vary,” which is basically Amazon-speak for “we change prices whenever we feel like it, so good luck!” I saw something like “1K+ bought in past month”, so maybe they’re a good deal, or maybe everyone’s just impulse buying. Who knows? Amazon is a wild card.
Oh, and check this out: PriceCheck in South Africa. Completely different market! But it proves my point: these shades are global, baby! And the prices? They’re all over the map!
Now, I stumbled across this thing about “Versace MOD. 436 Biggie.” (Biggie as in… the rapper? Lol, probably not) It says “Est Retail: R4500 Price: R3500.” That’s a *huge* discount! Makes you wonder, ya know? Are they seconds? Are they legit? Is this some dude selling them out of his trunk? I’d be careful. This is the kind of thing where you def wanna do your research, ya get me?
And lastly, don’t forget the women’s section on Versace’s site. Crystals, darling! Lots of crystals! Probably means lots of $$$ too.
