Is it fake...?

As being a professional in the eyewear industry there are many ways to spot out a fake.

1) Price- The price of a new designer sunglass should never fall under $60.00. As a rule of thumb, the cost of most designer eywear runs manufacture cost of $60.00

2)Place- These shippers from accros the seas (china, japan) may be another red flag to watch out for these sellers because a large amout of designer look alike msd can be made over seas a low prices.

3) Watch out for that serial number. On the side of the frame temples most designers such as Chanel will embed a series of number about 10 digits long on the opposite temple that contains the frame mesurements. It is important that you note that there is some type of model number on that temple or on most non-rx glasses on the actull lenses. If you look  on the sides of each lense you should see some serial number. many designers include Prada Bvlgari and Chanel all of these put a unique serial number on the side which is normally never duplicated by persons in China
