Hi everyone, so this blog/site to be will not just focus on sneakers, and clothing but accessories and everything else life has to offer. Cartier’s Bubinga Wood Collection is amazing, but very pricey (especially in this economy), but as with everything Cartier makes, these sunglasses are made with the best quality. Bubinga wood is a precious wood from Africa . These sunglasses rest very comfortably on your ears, and come in I believe two levels of sun protection on the lens ( this dictates the price as well).
If your looking to purchase a pair of these on eBay for less (which can be done) I would be very cautious. Ebay is loaded with fakes, and here is how to protect yourself.
One, if its too good to be true it is. No one is selling these for 200 dollars.
Two, check the sellers feedback and check what other items they are selling. If they are selling a few of these that should be a tip off that this person is selling fakes as not many stores carry them let a lone individuals with no feedback.
Three, if they are used ask for a copy of the certificate of authenticity. The certificate should have a serial number that matches up with the glasses printed, along with the date of purchase and a stamp from the store they were purchased at. In the even this information is not printed on the certificate don’t be scared off just yet. Ask for a copy of the receipt or ask where they were purchased. You can then call the store, give them the serial number and they can look them up in the system to make sure they are were purchased there. If all else fails you can always have them authenticated at a local Cartier for a small fee. Below are pictures of an authentic pair taken by myself enjoy and as always any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
