Bvlgari 5001


Bvulgari is an extremely high end brand, not really known for sunglasses, but more for fashion. Nonetheless, they do make sunglasses and other accessories, like watches and wallets, so they caught my interest.

Philosophy
These are made for style and style alone. Along with style though comes status. These sunglasses really say something about you. People that want to show their status to the public will most likely buy glasses like these, considering the pretty universal shape and look.

Style
The styling is pretty good, what can I say. The problem is that it isn't anything too unique, or special. The lenses do have a nice, unique gradient tint to them. It is kind of in between grey and brown, almost a purple. They are really lightweight. Also, they are pretty large and meant to stand out to be kind of flaunted. These definitely take a confident person to wear them and not one particularly caring  too much about sun protection because there isn't much.

Quality/Durability
The quality on these is sub-par. They aren't made particularly well and feel kind of cheap. Honestly, without the brand stamped on there, I might think they are just some flea market sunglasses. The lenses are just tinted plastic, so there won't be a lot of glare protection for you. They also kind of rattle if you shake them, which is kind of annoying. I don't think these will last too long if worn a lot.

Price/Value
These are going to be around 300 dollars, which is a bit mind blowing. You really are paying for nothing but the brand on this one. I guess if you are really into Bvulgari, then you can justify buying these. For anyone else though, it definitely isn't worth putting your money toward these sunglasses. They just aren't made well enough to warrant that kind of a price tag and are simply just making a 300 dollar statement when you put them on. That statement being, "Look at my Bvulgaris, they cost 300 dollars."
