Gucci

In eye wear, Gucci recently cut ties with its Italian manufacturer *** and it seems the majority of their current line of spectacle frames and sunglasses are now of much lower quality and labeled as "Made in Japan." Appears they have decided to sell what were previously replicas available for in purchase in Asia as now officially licensed Gucci eye wear while keeping the price the same. Gucci is content going from the *** of eye wear to the *** of eye wear, while continuing to charge *** prices. What exactly about these cheaper looking replicas are worth $400+? We're paying for Italian labor and craftsmanship; not just the name so your board members can further line their pockets.
