So long as they keep making their sunglasses in Italy or elsewhere in Europe, I don’t mind. It’s not something we buy everyday…

God he lies . He looks her striaght in the face and lies . He is so proud of his lies. 100 percent psychopath.

This thing screams white labelling

Luxxotica also has patents on the hinges of frames. It's a failure of Congress that no one even mentions this monopoly, but guess what ... luxxotica owns them too.

Who ever designed this hinge should never be allowed near anything mechanical again. Just the simple act of removing glasses from my face has caused these to come apart multiple times. Then I have to search for a video to fix them and there is not much help, especially in english. These are my first and LAST pair of ic berlins!!

I litteraly tried to explain thsi to my BM yesterday, and she didnt give a fuck and spent almost 900$ on a pair of Gucci percription glasses. Im like you dont even understand what you buying.

"They understood that life is better together" 😂 sounds like a wife beater.

The only thing that CEO needs is a white cat sitting in his lap, lol

i have stick to wear ic berlin for the past 15 years. I have ine common problem, where there is a very thin slot of around 1 mm at the side corners of the frame. This slot always break. Is there anyway to repair this ?

These stupid things cost $20 to make

Did you know, in the actual (2022 - 23), Luxottica bought Grandvision (For Eyes Optical Stores), because they were giving them a hard one on sales!

2:56 What she said reminded me of an episode of The Brady Bunch where Jan was lamenting about the thought of wearing glasses because she was afraid that boys, mainly Bernie McGuire, would find her unattractive.

This is hilarious - you just know this wouldn't be a story for 60 Minutes if Luxottica was an American company. Why don't they have the same concerns about giant American conglomerates who own dozens of brands.

mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia

This smoooooth MFer should be in politics

That's why I go to America's best phuck this company this is why prices go up

When you get older you actually start to look better in eyeglasses because you start getting wrinkles and bags under your eyes. with glasses on you hardly notice it.

There are many italian brands owned by americans, i don't see the problem

He speaks with such confidence and discernment knowing that Luxottica globalized the market by buying the there competition on all levels. Basically you either join them or face annihilation.

Was shopping for some new Oakleys today, as my old pair started to flake off the coating after a few years. Well yeah, I got 2 pairs from Aliexpress for 40 bucks shipped, let's check out the "competition" for those simple pieces of plastic.

Such a great brand in all honesty man, I have a Matsuda pair from the 80s-90s and it's lasted over 20 years now and not a single issue, really iconic, and extremely underated, Great quality 🙌💙

Everything about Andrea says super villain.

Boycott Luxottica! Luxottica commits fraudulent business practices! They not only scam consumers and/or patients, but, also commit insurance fraud! These crooks MUST be stopped!

I have had a pair of luxottica sun glasses for thirty years still beautiful an I wear them. Cost 300.00 in 1992. Did not even no the name. Just beautiful glasses. Video very interesting

Sounds like a successful business to me! It doesn’t seem that there is any economic rent or any affiliation to any sources of power involved in this success, so what’s the problem? They earned what they have! We need to understand that they have a different business model, they choose not to be the affordable one! and trust me the day that less expensive eyewear makers can increase the quality or do a great job on marketing, they will have serious problems… So it takes works to be where they are.

Best sunglasses I’ve ever owned Dita Mach Fives

Better to go along. It’s like Corleone saying “making an offer he can’t refuse”. Total trash and this dude is a dick.

What's the journalist's name, would love to see more of her interviews. Straight to the point and no bullshit!

monopoly and pride. what a fuckers.

Luxotica now owns Essillor, the company that makes most of the lenses, as well as owning much of the retail trade, e.g. LensCrafters, Pearle.

What a Monopoly is this. I will boycott every single product of them.

A scumbag company run by a mafia styled individual “Oakley decided we are better together”. Was that before or after goons broke their kneecaps with baseball bats? This Luxotica guy is an absolute sociopathic creep. You cannot compare eyeglasses to shoes. Glasses are medical devices that people need to SEE with. As a person who who had been very nearsighted since the 4th grade, I needed glasses to find my glasses. My eyesight got worse and worse every year until it was around -600. As an adult I needed eye exams and new prescription glasses and sunglasses yearly in addition to contact lenses. Most of the time I didn’t have vision insurance so I paid out of pocket for everything which came to well over $1,000 to $1,500 a year due to my high prescription, needing high index lenses so my glasses didn’t look like coke bottles and coatings like anti-reflective and scratch resistant. Then as I got older I needed progressive lenses which only added to the cost. Since I’m not rich this put a huge dent in my budget & I never bought anything even close to designer frames. I usually went to LensCrafters since I could put everything on my Care Credit card and pay it off interest free over 12 months. Last year I needed cataract surgery at a fairly young age due to being so nearsighted for so many years. My doctor inserted lenses into my eyes that corrected my vision (a MIRACLE)! For the first time in my life I can see in the shower and see clearly when I wake up. My glasses Rx now is very slight and I only have a slight correction for distance and driving at night. I ordered glasses online from EyeBuyDirect and Zenni Optical & they are PERFECT. I took them to a optical shop and had them checked on the machine for the correct Rx and they are perfect. My advice to anybody is to buy glasses online if you are able to. Zenni had the best prices & I was able to buy 2 pairs of Rx glasses (1 regular & 1 pair of sunglasses) for around $50.00. These same glasses would have been $600-$700 at LensCrafters. I always avoided buying glasses online before my surgery due to my complicated Rx. I’m not sure why the US allows this creep to have an utter monopoly on the retail prescription glasses business. Boycott LensCrafters, Target Optical, Sears Optical and be smart and purchase glasses online. I would love to see online retailers and Warby Parker run this creep out of the U.S.

I just paid £950 for my first pair of Dita glasses with prescription lenses....lets hope they last :)

I thought that this video was actually about ensemble a dita glases. I'm looking for a good video disassembling a Dita Mach One

How is this not a monopoly? Why aren't they fined a couple hundred billion and broken up in smaller companies?

Canada has just caught on to this in a report last year September 2020 www.cbc.ca/radio/costofliving/the-cost-of-living-on-the-cost-of-stuff-payday-loans-baby-formula-glasses-and-modern-monetary-theory-1.5715939/wondering-why-your-glasses-are-so-pricey-one-company-controls-almost-everything-about-them-1.5721176

the only funny thing is that the craftsman in this video of dita, doesn't wear dita. but the sunglasses of dita are meh. the frame is 9/10, but the glasses are 7/10. but my STATESMAN-SIX optics is fucking great. worth every penny

That is why they are expensive 😎

Luxottica cheapened one of the most iconic American brands with their purchase of Ray-Ban in 1999. Consider investing in vintage Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban sunglasses. You’ll find some of the best were made between the mid-1940s and mid-1970s. B&L’s craftsmanship, quality and advanced lens technology are unsurpassed (even by today’s standards). At least you’ll get what you pay for with vintage B&L Ray-Bans!

Love this journalist! She takes no shit lol

I bought my first pair of Dita eyewear (prescription) this year. Stateman 3, gold trim, gold nose bridge. Worth the investment. Excellent craftsmanship. /Bklyn 👑

I still have my 1983 Bausch & Lomb Aviators. The 2002 Luxottica Ray-bans in my photo broke years ago.

laser cut sheet metal, vibratory deburring, laser etching, forming, anodizing, assembly, so easy, but easy is the result of elegant design

The answer to this is to use Zenni Optical online. As a consumer you have the right to get a copy of your prescription from your eye doctor and use it to order from Zenni. Just make sure they include the Pupilary Distance (PD) measurement.

Yep my prescription glasses cost me 2000.00 every two years. NO KIDDING!

I’m concerned about the quality of LENSES from market stalls vs those in departmental stores vs those in optical shops. Esp when it comes to polarized lenses or anti-UV ones, how do we know they are really good? Sunglasses can range from $20 plus to $200 plus. Are the $20 plus quality the same? Luxottica makes glasses for 0.5billion ppl so there are surely other companies making dubious lenses. How are consumers to know? The video mainly talked about the FRAMES which doesn’t even matter to eye health. Could someone enlighten me on how to source for reasonably-priced glasses with good-quality lenses?

Well Done! Thanks. As a "regular human" I always think of Italians smiling, singing and being nice! Now, as a Business-Strategy Consultant it helps my clients to understand "Marketing" ... though that squirming CEO is not much of an example in the "Ethics" department. :-) John in Portland, Oregon

There are many, many brands of high quality sunglasses online in the 50- 100$ range. Just do a little shopping around online instead of rushing into something you see at dicks sporting goods, or jc penney, sunglass hut. Seriously.

$400 for ugly blue plastic?

The chickens have come home to roost. Milan area and China are the worst affected by Corona Virus are where Luxottica’s glasses are made. I would not want to touch a pair coming from their factories.
