    Clearly Contacts Selling Knock off Raybans? According to Lux rep -YES!

    Well clearly contacts is selling knock offs for Raybans but yet charging crazy money. At least that was what I was told. It is apparently under investigation! Where the sunglasses are made in stamp is incorrect.... interesting... anybody else here about this?

    The knock offs are probably of higher quality.

    Yeah, sure. They sell to a "guy" who sells to them. Luxottica knows very well the how, who, from where about all the product we see on the web coming from them.
    Any pleading of ignorance is a total pile of unmentionables.

    I think Lux is also selling knock off RayBans and selling them for tons of money.

    When Paul Frank showed up on CC I called my rep and emailed Baumvision to find out what was going on. They were plastered all over the front page and had styles that my rep didn't even have. Baumvision told my rep they were knock offs and said they had filed a cease and desist. I had a client come in to rx his CC Paul Franks. They weren't knock offs. After that whole mess was cleaned off CC which took several months I ended up dropping the account anyways. I wasn't the only one. Baumvision didn't even have the courtesy to send a statement to accounts informing them of what happened. Weird move for a smaller distributor since they lost a lot of accounts because of it.

    I'd be pretty certain those are real Lux RayBans. Does it matter how they got them? You can't really devalue that product any further.

    Redhot Jumper Maybe you love this too.....................

    In the 1970s I introduced the Emanuel Ungaro line successfully on Canada and we ran short on some models and the manufacturer in France could not supply for 4 month. However he offered us the same frames from his USA stock which he sold in the USA under his own name at half the price we had to sell the brand name for.

    i would not doubt that they still do it today and those fake RayBans could be the real thing.

    This is really blowing my mind! If they weren't authentic, how could they get away with it??? They are clearly displaying Luxottica literature and everything LOOKS the same...has anyone ever bought from them?? Are they rx'able?
