Vintage faceted shades: which is thrift?
Posted on 04:53 by kumar
Can you tell which pair of faceted sunglasses I paid a 'vintage' price for, and which I paid a thrift price for? One pair was $300; the other, a buck.
I kid you not. I bought the $300 pair as I loved them (and let me tell you, I had to really love 'em to drop a buck like that). They were never worn. And faceted sunglasses just can't be found any more new - they just don't cut them that way these days.
Well, just goes to show: you can always find it thrift (if you are willing to literally dig around). The other day I unearthed some faceted shades in a bin of sunglasses at my new fave thrift shop (Canadian Thrift in Pape Village). The magical price: a buck.
Jeepers. I think I like the cheapie ones better! Can you tell which were the vintage thrifted ones and which were the never-worn but pricey vintage ones?
And by the way, which ones do you like better on me? Had to ask, tee hee.
