Review: Lightweight & Polarized! Surprisingly VERY IMPRESSED! - Things I adore about these sunglasses... (1) The presentation! They arrived in the cutest little hard box, inside their case (which looks very luxurious, by the way), along with a cleaning cloth! You can't even go to Marshals or TJ-Max and walk out with sunglasses of this caliber with sunglasses AND a case AND a cleaning cloth for under 25$... And if you can, I promise you the sunglasses you bought are not as nice as these, even if you might think so... (You're wrong!) (2) One of the two things that I was extremely concerned about was that the sunglasses be lightweight. What started me on my hunt is that I lost my last pair of sunglasses that I had for almost a year (Marshals bought- I'll admit! And that's how I know what I know- as mentioned in point #1!) that were the perfect weight and didn't bother me to wear (however, they were not polarized, so maybe it was a good thing I lost them...?). I can't stand wearing sunglasses if they are even remotely "heavy"... I just will NOT wear them, and after hearing that a relative had sun damage in their eyes from years of never wearing sunglasses I decided to make sure I would start protecting mine- meaning wearing decent sunglasses with UV protection and polarization while out and about. (3) These are definitely polarized. For one thing, they come with a little card that tests the polarized sunglasses- it has an image on it that you are unable to see when you are not wearing the glasses. You can also google ways to test if they are polarized or not, but one way to tell is if you tilt your smart phone at an angle while wearing your polarized sunglasses you should see some "black lines." (4) They are very cute. I've already gotten lots of compliments and I've had them less than three days, and I agree with other reviewers saying they look much more expensive than they cost. I'm so glad I searched on desertcart instead of wasting my time driving and hunting down the perfect pair at Marshals or TJ-Max, which would not have got me these results (point #1, y'all). If you're not convinced by my review, check out the other reviews in here that compare these gorgeous sunglasses to Ray Bans! There's quite a bit of them! If I remember correctly, one of two said they prefer these! You really can't go wrong. Bottom line- super light weight, definitely polarized, expensive-looking and very cute! Will be purchasing another pair from Carfia in the future! 10/10! If you read all of this and found this review helpful, please tap that “Helpful” button below! ☺️
Review: My standby sunglasses! - Really great value for nice looking polarized sunglasses! I’ve bought this exact pair probably 5 times over many years solely because I really like them and I keep losing them. The quality is really good, I can confirm they definitely are polarized, and they come with a case and micro fiber cloth which is a nice touch.
