Why is KREWE so expensive?
While the sunglasses are expensive ($195-$415 depending on the frame) compared to other popular options, like RayBan, I believe the quality of KREWE’s frames is worth the extra money. Each pair is handcrafted, comes with a lifetime warranty, and a FREE replacement should you damage your frames. As a vertically integrated company, Luxottica designs, manufactures, distributes, and retails its eyewear brands through its own subsidiaries. It is the largest eyewear company in the world.It’s Luxottica—a global eyewear monopoly that controls 80% of the market. From Ray-Ban to Prada, they own over 150 brands and even retail chains like Sunglass Hut.Ray-Ban is an Italian-owned brand of luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses created in 1936 by Bausch & Lomb. The brand is best known for its Wayfarer and Aviator lines of sunglasses.The value comes down to your specific needs: if you prioritize classic style and a wide variety of frame choices, Ray-Bans may offer better value. However, if you’re looking for sunglasses geared towards high-performance sports with advanced lens technology, Oakley might be the better investment.
