Its really nice to see vintage eyewear grow this much in the past few years. We remember when it was just us and a few others (that would not fill one hands fingers) that were trying to spread quality vintage sunglasses all around the world.
Sadly today there are a bunch of vintage eyewear dealers who no nothing about what they sell, think anything thats old is "truly vintage" and don't even bother to educate themselves as they are not in it for the love of the game but just to make a quick buck.
That being said this was just the final straw...

Not only is the eyewear giant Luxottica owned "Sunglass Hut" ignorant enough to list vintage Persol Ratti glasses as MAFLECT RATTI (NOT MEFLECTO!!! - as of course they have not even bothered to research what they are selling-even though they own the brand !!)They are also cocky enough to ask over 5000$ for the 806 folding model which is usually sold for around 700$ tops...Ughhh i wish they would just leave vintage alone..
Its sad to see they no so little about a company they purchased in the 90s that holds such a big piece in eyewear history to us true eyewear lovers
