text: I'm really surprised. For a &#34;luxury&#34; brand and for the price I paid for these specs, they weren't up to scratch. My nose piece, not the pad, but the metal connecting the pad to the frame broke in less than a year. I didn't even use these glasses as my everyday pair, I wore it only regularly for several days. I also learned that the manufacturer of Persols also makes Ray Bans, and eyewear by other well-known luxury brands. I'd stay away from this manufacturer. Stick with in-house independent brands.
