Would appreciate feedback. TIA.
Sunglasses are the prototypical Veblen goods.

Most all sunglasses cost less than $10-$15 to make, including Sun Dog, Oakley, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and most any other brand you can think of. Typical "mark-up" is over 1000%.

Do yourself a favor and shop for sunglasses on Amazon, don't pay more than $50 and return them if you don't like them. One brand you may want to consider on Amazon, is Tifosi. If you go to the Tifosi site, you can see exactly what the sunglasses will look like, on your head & face.
