Warby Parker. Something about the name just completely frosts me. I know I should grow up and give them a chance (because Luxotica is fucking evil). But it really turns me off. "Warby Parker"...sounds like the name of some kid who's dad owns racehorses.
I think part of the reason I use Zenni Optical online is because Warby Parker sounds like a place that'll offer grandma glasses for stupid-expensive prices.
That's because Warby Parker is a place that'll offer grandma glasses for stupid-expensive prices.
I tried Zenni a couple of times. Really wanted to like them. But the glasses they sent me were horrible. I do have a somewhat complex prescription, though. I suspect for basic prescriptions they are OK.
Mine are basic and yes, zenni crushes it every time. I even get my phone number lazered into the ear thingies so that people can call me if I lose them.
This is hilarious because it invokes same exact feeling for me when I hear the name. It just screams "New York socialite."
Glad I'm not the only one. I am highly averse to anything that sounds like a "lifestyle brand". Hollister and such. I'll never understand people who wear expensive brand name t-shirts and provide free advertising for giant corporations. Ryan George made a pretty funny YouTube video about this strange phenomenon.
