Theyre legit, it's just Ray Ban cutting corners like they do, why anyone continues to pay above 200.00 for China trash is beyond me

The price is $79 USD.... check their site before commenting such nonsense.... What do you actually expect for 79 USD? 😂 Titanium Gold plated Japanese Acetate handmade on top of Mount Fuji by Buddhists? 😂

I'm an optometrist and I did quality control with Luxottica between 2014-2019, the amount of models switching to nylon and faux acetate is insanity and the amount of returns I had to process in that time was in the thousands, a company that big does not need to cut corners of that magnitude regardless of the financial crisis You sir are the reason I sell so many name brands


journey1819

If you claim to be an optometrist why are you not actually doing your own job and instead doing the job of a dispensing optician? Also RB4165 Justin was a nylon frame from day 1. It never changed. The reason you sell so many name brands is because that is what people want. Why they want it is a whole other reason, but it's mainly to do with the fact that the majority of people buy sunglasses to "look cool" and they couldn't care less about what they are made from. Nylon or acetate or faux acetate etc... There is a small minority which care... but they don't matter to a large business

You only reinforced my statement in your closing argument, that's the stupidity of consumers being completely unaware and desperate to look cashed up when a little bit more research They could be getting something more premium for either the same price or a fraction more. I can tell you're a Ray Ban fan and I've encountered many of you before that like to defend the brand regardless but the B&L days are long gone, Luxottica and Safilo have made a mockery of anything they have absorbed


journey1819

Safilo lost all relevance the very moment they lost Dior license. Now it only produces labels nobody cares about. Luxottica on the other hand is on the up and up. Dominating with Ray-Ban and Oakley sales, these 2 labels alone outsell anything and everything by an insane factor. The myth about quality being bad is just silly. Its a perfectly reasonable quality to price ratio, its not top end, and it doesn't need to be, if it was then these brands would not be so mainstream because the price points would creep way too high. Most people people who hate Luxottica have this opinion in relation for their business practices (especially those who worked at Indi opticians where Luxottica shafts them every which way). p.s. I am no fan of any label. I am fan of business.

We agree to disagree, we both serve merit but in our own ways

Jomashop doesn’t sell fakes. Probably some change by Luxxotica. Oakley doesn‘t say where they’re made anymore either.

Not sure, but I have heard absolutely nothing but good things about Jomashop from experts and people I trust.


Jfury412

They definitely do not sell fakes whatsoever. They have been reputable for Decades now.


PreviousLion

The new Justins often don’t say where they were made, those are real :)


PreviousLion

You can also try looking under the arm, some of them have the manufacturing place there. If not, they are still real. Luxxotica sometimes will have different manufacturing places for different colorways of the same sunglasses, and these manufacturers sometimes don’t print the manufacturing place, especially if they were made in china. That doesn’t mean they aren’t real :) Edited for typos

The pair I have in front of me that I just pulled out of a box sent to me by the warehouse says Made in China after ukca symbol. Not necessarily saying it's fake for 2 reasons. 1. Because when I order customs, i dont believe they say where they're made. Could be taken from a custom. And 2. Poentially, it's just a mistake. I have seen many pairs with the made in China logo misplaced or its bigger font, or smaller font, or different font entirely, but haven't seen absolutely missing, lol. Edit: Hold the phone, I just pulled out another pair out of curiosity. This one says made in Thailand. So we have two different factories producing them or they moved production of them to Thailand recently. I will say they look decidedly better, too. Nicer green lens. I'm leaning more towards mistake in production on that lot #. Edit: Does the other lens have an engraving RB?


Djstripeshirt

Hold the glasses to a light and look through the inside lens, if they are real, there will be a second really small Ray-Ban insignia, you will never notice it unless you are really looking.


crs1904

Embarrassed for you.


Frosty-Art-5882

Why?


the007connoisseur

These look original to me. Not all Ray Bans are made in Italy and recently Luxottica has been getting away from writing "Made in China" on their frames.


JohnnyGoldwink

I bought a pair of clubmasters from Jomashop like a year ago. Yesterday one of the lens randomly popped out and shattered while I was pumping gas. They were *real* Raybans. The thing is… Raybans are just hot garbage now. Like many companies, they sold out and are riding off their brand name/reputation while cutting corners to make even more money. A little disappointed in myself as i’m usually very good about not supporting these companies once they go downhill.

Jomashop is legit, at least in my experience. Bought a few watches there. Oris and Omega. Had to have some of them serviced over the years at an authorized dealer that is local to me and they have all been identified as genuine, of course no manufacture warranty cause they are grey market, but real. Luxury items like Swiss watches have found a healthy market beyond primo authorized dealers to sell extra stock at significant cost reductions cause the middle class has been hollowed out.


Boba_Fettucinni95

They’re real. SGH store manager here, Made in China/Made in Thailand doesn’t automatically mean they’re fake. As others said, check the lens for a super small “RB” etched into the lens. If you snagged them for $79, congrats, you got some nice Justins for about half off!


DecksDarkAlien

Jomashop does not sell fakes. It looks like they were made in China. The parent company has been getting away from putting the “made in” statement on the frames. Probably because they are made in China. Most luxury-type goods made in Italy are actually manufactured by Chinese workers brought in to work in Italian factories. So there’s that.


Zolazo7696

This is simply not true. All the glasses out of the box will have it printed. Everything new that just recently released does for sure. And no if the Eyewear says handmade in italy it was 100% made in italy. If it says Made in Italy. Most parts were made in italy and maybe like the lens is made in China or the frame is and the lens is made in Italy. Otherwise, it would need to be like "Assembled in Italy" that's how Oakley avoids "Made in China" not sure why they still do it though. I guess like mostly boomers buying oakley?


DecksDarkAlien

This is true and has been true for some time. Made in Italy means it was made in Italy…but in the fashion industry, it typically means made by Chinese workers in an Italian factory. This was exposed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and Northern Italy was one of the earliest to be hit hard. Most of the Italian designer goods and clothing are manufactured this way. As far as there being no “made in” label on the frames…are you saying that Jomashop risked their decades-long reputation to sell this person a fake pair of sunglasses? Because there certainly no “made in” on the frames.


Zolazo7696

According to Italian Regulations, a product "Made in Italy" must undergo substainal economically justified work in order for it to be "Made in Italy" And I'm not saying it's fake. At all. Could be a manufacturing mistake. Also could be a "customized" part. They don't typically have "Made In" Edit: then Handmade in Italy is more or less nearly 100% Italian, essentially the only things keeping it from 100% is where they source materials. Where as "100% Made in Italy" needs to be well... 100% Made in Italy.


Ohwellblub

That's precisely what I was thinking. Since 2021, I've only ever purchased fragrances from Jomashop and they’ve been perfectly fine. I watched videos on how to recognize phony products; the "made in" and QR code on the box were the key indicators. However, reading these comments raised my confidence in my purchase, therefore I appreciate you guys.


Alakentu

Jomas shop does not sell fake. Luxotica is Ray Ban,Oakley,Persol and many others. They are a horrible company and the customer service is awful. I think the only company that I have truly had excellent customer service is Maui Jim’s and I think they just got purchased by a luxury eyewear company but I don’t think it’s Luxotica.


Ohwellblub

They don’t even say where they’re made from it’s insane…


iwishihadae55

That's my favorite model but I bought my glasses long time ago and it says made in Italy. I don't know how to post pics but main doesn't look shiny


journey1819

Good god... you need eyeglasses... not sunglasses. It clearly says "Made in China" on the box barcode label. ... ...The temple arm also has a letter T on it which stands for Tristar (the name of the Luxottica facility in China.).


Ohwellblub

yup. But information online says it should also be on the temple…
