The engravings on the arm add up, nothing seems off about them
but id ask the seller for proof of purchase if you can
Usually with fake glasses they cheap out on the hinges but these look nice and sturdy
sure I will, does Moscot have good quality to justify their high retail price?
Im not 100% sure, i havent handled them myself personally i just work with shades for a living
I imagine its fine, alot of brands that are “made in italy” are mostly assembled in china anyhow i think moscot is just honest about their production
yeah that’s fair makes sense
recommend any other brands?
What budget are you working with?
about £100 or less new or slightly used
I’ll look into it after I’m done work

Id recommend checking this thread that was posted earlier last week
Might be exactly the stuff u need
Basically anything @awz pp already reccomended
Ah yeah my thread was just looking for more recommendations I’ll refer back to the other brands too
@awz pp do you think this listing is legit?
Moscots are fantastic if they're legit
I have Lemtoshes, and at least going from a brand like Warby Parker there's a noticeable difference.
They come with a little authenticity card, so I'd ask the seller if they have that
Mind you I assume that could be faked too
he doesn’t I’m not sure some of them trade for £200+ and these are £70
I guess as long as they look legit?
moscot has fakes according to /r/qualityreps so up to ur risk tolerance
Imo id just skip this listing and look elsewhere if you’re worried about them being fakes
Price seems to good to be true according to my friend who is a sunglasses designer for moscot among other brands.
yeah they seem to trade in the £200-300 range
silly question but are the quality of the reps to the same standard 😭😭😭
theyre reps
The health warning on reps is that you have no idea whether the lenses are actually offering the sun protection they say they do.
But broadly no, reps are by very definition nearly always someone seeking to cut a corner by manufacturing something for lower cost and selling at a high price off someone else's name to create margin.

thoughts on this listing?
Once I receive them, can I legit check them or are the fakes too good
Probably more realistic pricing based on retail.
@skipper I feel like this is not getting enough attention; fashion reps are not optometrists so there's no guarantee of equivalent sun protection on reps even if they look good enough or can be legit checked retroactively
might be worth rolling the dice on therealreal
yes I understand I am looking for real ones at the moment 😭
moscot gives you 10% off your first online order. i got mine from a glasses store nearby for 20% off, so deals are out there.
yeah definelty, I’m crawling eBay lowballed a couple people I’ll see how it goes
The hinges and packaging all look legit?
was gonna offer
