Budget £120 ish, give or take.

My current ones are tortoiseshell Ray Bans and I LOVE them, but they have a massive scratch on the lens. So now I'm looking for some recommendations please.

Love the tortoiseshell ones handbagfettish they might be the ones.

I don't really suit round frames because my face is quite round - seeing a lot of hexagon shaped frames this year.

OP everyone I know has tried on my sunglasses and they seem to suit all face shapes and that price is too good to miss.

Www.tortoiseandblack.com has an extra 10% off and their Ray-Ban are usually 20% off RRP anyway.
Have you considered just new lenses? I'm sure they could help source them for you.

OP - if it helps I got 10% off for signing up.

Have a look in TKmaxx, I always wear Ray Bans and get them when they are in sales etc. But I have bought a great pair of Givenchy with a really good polarised lens, have also had some CK ones in tortoiseshell which are also a great shape for me, both pairs were under £30, bargain, but different stores can be hit and miss

handbagfettish · 27/05/2019 12:52

I'm also seriously considering buying these - going on holiday in two weeks but I don't know if I'm being a bit extravagant designeroptiks.co.uk/shop/sunglasses/fendi-ff-0125s-mqldb/

  • just thought they were a good price for Fendi. Has anyone ever bought any Fendi glasses - sorry OP for hijacking your post.

Love them @handbagfettish, a wee bit over budget for me but you should totally buy them.

Check out the TK Maxx website. I bought a pair of Karen Walker sunglasses I saw in Liberty for £225 for £40 there.

have and replace every few years, Tom Ford, similar in style to ray ban wayfarers

BenWillbondsPants ha ha you are a bad influence! I lost my first pair of good sunglasses a few weeks ago - Ralph Lauren - and I was gutted, that's why I bought the Rayban ones. I think someone on here said if you have nice sunglasses and a nice watch people assume everything else you are wearing is expensive - says me in my Primark trousers and Very top!

Alarae · 27/05/2019 14:39

Not much help here as I would buy another pair of Ray-bans! I currently have the foldable tortoiseshell wayfarers as they suit my round (chubby) face.

If you look on ebay you can find barely used ones for cheaper.

There are some beautiful sunglasses on here now and I want every single pair of them. Grin

BenWillbondsPants I see these are out of stock - did you manage to order a pair?

I didn't @handbagfetish, but I still might, I can get them for £69 on the site below. But I'm torn, I quite like these ones too - what do you think of them? They're not normally the shape I would buy but I think I like them!

I love my Rayban wayfarers. Go with everything, very flattering, can look cool, or sophisticated. Soft lines, go with my wavy hair.

Justwantaneasylifenowplease · 28/05/2019 21:43

I'm going to be one of those annoying people who goes over budget. But these are amazing, check out other styles in the brand too. Simple enough to be classic, without being too quirky! Not mainstream either - highly recommend !
