I have only ever had £10 sunglasses. I don't know why. They mainly stay in my car and when they are totally knackered, they get replaced. Usually last about 5 or 6 years I would have thought.
My current pair are now needing replacing.
I also just happened to be reading a book about special forces in Iraq and the soldier author mentioned he wore Persol folding sunglasses.
I had never heard of them and until now would never have thought about spending more than £20 or £30 on sunglasses.
But now after googling Persol, I have this odd desire to get a pair. New, vintage I don't mind. Folding seems the sensible ones to go for. Blue or polarised?
And if Steve Mcqueen loved them, then so can I.
So in the space of a few days I have gone from having no desire for expensive decent shades to needing a pair so desperately that my wife is going to go mad listening to me.
Although I do have a land mark birthday coming up.....
