PROLOGUE
WARBY PARKER - An American Brand
Warby Parker eyewear is stylish, elegant, sleek, and vintage inspired from the 40's and 50's with traces of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. Warby Parker is an American brand of classic and timeless prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses founded in 2010. The eyewear is sold online, and has eight showrooms in the United States. The price point is significantly lower, the website superior and customer service reigns supreme.
Why Cheaper: The National Association of Vision Care Plans states that the average price point of eyeglasses is $263, includes both frames and lenses. In reality, high end quality glasses and sunglasses range in the $400 and up arena. As a woman who started wearing glasses in 4th grade the cost factor is true. For years I wore glasses, contacts and finally had corrective surgery to restore my long distance vision. Eyewear continues to remain a passion of mine with several pairs of glasses and a vast array of sunglasses on hand for day or night. After all, eyewear adds mystic and beauty for every occasion. How can Warby Parker offer high quality, well crafted monocles and shades at a more affordable price? To begin with the reason the cost is so steep has to do with a company based in Italy known as Luxottica. This unassuming and little known company owns Ray-Ban, Oakley, Sunglass Hut, Lenscrafter, Pearle Vision, and licenses almost every high end fashion brand on the market (Ralph Lauren, Armani etc.). In other words, Luxottica has cornered the market and sets the exorbitant cost to the consumer. Warby Parker, manages the cost by cutting out the distributor and retailers, which creates a fair and equitable price point of $95 to the consumer.
Nod to Quality: Warby Parker eyewear carefully develops each collection that are vintage, contemporary and refined. The frames are handcrafted using the finest custom materials, taking several weeks to product from initial cut through polishing. And, are produced on one the same production lines of several high-end boutique brands. In others words, excellent quality and durability.
Superior Customer Service & Give Back to Charity: Offer outstanding customer service with a virtual online try on option, which is fabulous, easy and fun to use.
- Virtual online Tool: Upload a photo of yourself and try on the eye glasses and sun glasses.
- Home Try On Option: Order 5 pairs, 5 days to decide which to keep, shipped to you 100% free. You have 5 days to try them on. Return shipping is free. You will be charged for the spectacles you keep.
- Call the Optometrist: They will call your eye doctor for you to coordinate a prescription.
- Give Back to Charity: For every pair of glasses purchased, a pair is distributed to someone in need. Warby Parker makes a donation to eye wear non-profits with 500,000 donated to date. In 2012, Warby Parker, gave out 250,000 pairs of glasses, some of which went to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
- Readers Note: Readers are not available at this time. Don't despair! The company is looking into this option. Stay tuned. And, it is very easy to have a pair of glasses retrofitted with the appropriate reader strength.

ACT II
SCENE 2: Palm Canyon Collection - Refreshed and Updated
Palm Canyon Collection includes the best-loved frames Winston, Duckworth, Preston and Wheeler (The naming of the glasses reminds me of the The Preppy Handbook (1980) or The Boys in the Boat (2013) where John Noel Duckworth was a coxswain for University of Cambridge during the 1936 Berlin Olympics and who also became a celebrated WWII survivor) that have been refreshed in a Palm Springs palette of mesquite, acacia, ironwood, and sand. Each frame features a hand-mixed acetate with patterns inspired by Color Field painters and mid century minimalists.
Designing and constructing the patterns required a technique that takes over a year to perfect, and each pair is distinguished with a unique contrast detail created by melding sheets of woodwork-inspired acetate and tortoise acetate together. No two pairs are alike. Thus, every pair is show stopping and unique just like the individual that sports Warby Parker glass wear. Cost is $145.
I. The Respectful Leader - DUCKWORTH - Painted Desert - The optical frame and sunglasses are beautifully shaped with a brushed like finish signaling refinement. Men & Women options.
