How to Spot Fake Oakley Sunglasses

Posted by smilelysauny on April 13th, 2021

Luxottica group (USA): Oakley is currently manufactured by Luxottica Group in Italy, and because of the current policies of Luxottica, Oakley sunglasses are not distributed wholesale. When they are found at a discount, it will generally be in Luxottica's own chains. Currently, they distribute to their own retail venues, keeping a tight stranglehold on their products. Other groups like Safilo Group (Gucci, Dior etc), will often liquidate off-season products to third party distributors.

What all this means is, due to the overwhelming popularity and demand for Oakley glasses, coupled with the difficult processes in securing any type of wholesale distribution, Oakley sunglasses are extremely appealing to counterfeiters. Fake Oakley is everywhere. However, it does not mean it is impossible to score a great deal on an authentic pair of Oakley. Note: When the glasses were being manufactured by B&L, they had a wholesale policy, so many of the vintage, or older model Oakley (B&l) glasses found online may be in fact authentic.

Fake Lifestyle: One of the most famous of the Fake Oakleys styles, and most heavily counterfeited is the Lifestyle Sunglass line. This model has reached almost icon status in the United States and abroad. However, they do have a singular feature that many counterfeiting attempts get incorrect. On the Lifestyle glasses, check the hinges holding the temple arms and the lens together. Look closely at the hinge. There should always be, with no variation, seven interlocking prongs, weaved together making up the hinge. If your Lifestyle sunglasses do have this feature, they are most likely fake Oakley sunglasses. Use this quick tip to weed out the phonies. Good luck and safe shopping.

Should you decide to buy brand new sunglasses, bear in mind to be aware the warranty information and receipt that comes with the items. Without the receipt, you will be ineligible for warranty coverage. It is usually safer to deal with real online stores instead of people if you plan to purchase a brand new pair so the warranty and receipt will probably be securely brought to you.
