“Luxottica collects the insurance premium. The retail margin. And the manufacturing profit. Three separate revenue streams from the same transaction.”

I also hate that basically everything except Maui Jim and a few others are owned by Luxottica

Both brands are owned by Essilor-Luxottica these days, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Luxottica owns it ALL. Any designer frames you have? Luxottica. Luxottica, Luxottica, Luxottica.
Ex optician here.
I have so many stories about people's first glasses changing their lives for the better. I'm boggled that anyone could believe otherwise.
Now the prices are another thing, we've somehow let a single company dominate the entire chain of Eyewear supply, and that's not helping.

Rayban and Oakley are just two of a huge list of brands owned by one massive competition-eating eyewear multinational called Luxottica. Your glasses were probably made by Luxottica. They own the frames, the lenses (Essilor) and the dispensing. They’re a notorious menace in eyewear.

Luxottica is a gang of scammers, too, y'all! Stop spending money in LUXURY GLASSES, they're JERKING YOU.
“‘I think Meta needed to partner with Luxottica because the Meta brand is not something that people want to put anywhere near their face,’ Spiegel said.”
'The Meta Brand Is Not Something People Want to Put Anywhere Near Their Face,' Says Snapchat CEO
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel thinks that Meta is fumbling the bag on smart glasses.

personally i think luxottica—who owns ray-ban and oakley among many other sunglass companies—deserves a share of all this smoke for letting meta use their products as vehicles for their spyware

They're only Pervert Glasses if they're from the Essilor-Luxottica region of Italy, otherwise they're just Sparkling Nonce Goggles.
Love that the label "pervert glasses" is routinenely attached to the name whenever anyone discussed the pervert glasses.
Too little, too late?

The wayfarer had been dead since the 80s until Luxottica revived them in the mid 2000s. Sales rose like 250%. Ray Ban was literally brought back to life by Luxottica (and Chloe Sevigny)

This will get interesting when people connect Ray-ban with the umbrella company Luxottica, which is one of the biggest maker of glasses in the world. Need new glasses from your local optometrist - no thanks if you support creepy surveillance brand 🙂↔️

Ray-ban was bought by Luxottica in 1999. It's been dead for decades.

But yeah pretty much any luxury brand's sunglasses that are 'Made in Italy' are all made in the same Luxottica factory

dad’s love to tell you that you’re getting ripped off paying for designer sunglasses because they’re all made by the same company, luxottica, anyway. ☝️unless you buy maui jims, which truly make their own. this is a favorite opinion of dads everywhere

Not predatory at all:

Once you learn a good number of designer glasses companies are all owned by Luxottica you start thinking about glasses differently.

It seems like META really ruined the legacy of the Ray Ban brand with Luxottica. The glasses of the Beat poets, James Dean, Patti Smith, Madonna, etc., part of the legacy of American style and branding like the Coke bottle and Levi's, reduced to being "Pervert Glasses." Way to go there, tech.

Le numéro un de l'optique et des montures, né de la fusion entre le français Essilor et l'italien Luxottica, a inauguré hier matin à Wissous (Essonne), en présence d'Emmanuel Macron, un site industriel de pointe, représentant un investissement de 70 millions d'euros.
