EyeDictive has Polarized Sunglasses: Spy, adidas, Persol & More (Various Styles) from $28 when you apply coupon code SAVE20 at checkout. Shipping is free.
Thanks to Deal Hunter TattyBear for finding this deal.
The name Brod, Menachem M pops up. And lo and behold, the address is residential. Digging some more this guy also owns a MD Commerce LL that is doing business as Bayview Eyewear; it is a retail store in Miami. So aside from Eyedictive, they are also operating a storefront.
That said, I have been happy with my purchases from Eyedictive. Like another user said, even if they are fake, most glasses are made by the same manufacturer. The differences are not even that big.
If you're looking at this thread, you better grab a jacket… it's a bit shilly in here!! Here is all you need to know about Eyedictive:
- Eyedictive is NOT an authorized reseller for any of the brands they carry so the manufacturer is not obligated to honor any warranty claims.
- The products they sell are discontinued styles and obsolete inventory
- The only contact info available for them is a PO box.
- Customer must pay return shipping for any returns
- Many SD users have said that the product they received was fake
- If you still decide to buy, compare prices with other online merchants before buying because their prices aren't always very good and what they claim is the "regular price" is a complete joke.
- Eyedictive deals are always posted by SD Staff so approach with caution.
- Comments that are negative to Eyedictive or the particular sunglasses deal tend to mysteriously disappear from the threads. This includes comments with links to other retailers offering similar or better prices.
I bought 2 pairs of Lacoste polarized shades from here a few months back. They're great. If they're fake, I don't really care, they are clearly polarized, clearly good lenses, and the frames seem to hold up to my little kids' regular criminal acts of battery against them. Fake? Maybe, but for $25 I'm happy with them.

Thanks, sending you $2550 for that. 10 monthly payments of &255, cashier check.
I just received a pair of Smith Emerge and they look very legit. The color is not in the US site but it is in the French one. They look very good quality . Looks like EYEDICTIVE buys the left overs inventory from the big brands just like Marshalls or TJ Max. I paid $52 vs $140 in Smith (different colors)
Have ordered multiple times from them and the glasses all seem to be top/expected quality. Have had to return due to fit/style issues that you can't determine online. Better to risk $6 than spend $200 extra for sure IMO.
Yes they appear to be old stock and/or unpopular styles, big deal, Gabe's, TJ Maxx, etc do the same and I appreciate it.

LTTP: there is a good bit of misinfo in this thread.
As someone who deals with designer and high end clothing for a job, and knows the inner workings pretty well of grey market sellers as well as the production behind some of the designer labels - I have ordered ~10 pair and can nearly assuredly state they are all authentic.
Eyedictive is similar to Joma and Ashford, a grey market dealer. I saw a comment on here from a past deal that sparked a lot of controversy, which was someone contacting Timberland regarding Eyedictive and being told they were not an authorized dealer. So naturally for some that = FAKE, but that's actually not true at all. If you call timberland and ask about the belts they have at Ross, they will tell you the same thing. About Ross. Or Marshalls, Joma, etc. list goes on. That is absolutely true - none of those people are authorized sellers, they are grey market.
Same thing here.
Grey market buys bulk inventory from suppliers of older models, exclusive models from other countries retailers, boutique pairs, etc.
Before I get called a shill or something - check my join date. I have been here a long time, just don't typically post … at all. I can also talk about this not using Eyedictive as an example. I once got an exclusive Red Wing Postal boot in Kodak leather from Nordstrom rack. This was in the USA.
Doesn't sound weird?
It should. That particular pair was a Japan exclusive combination. Nordy rack grabbed it on an inventory dump and here we are!
Of the ~ 10 pairs I have ordered from Eyedictive, I have typicall stuck with brands I have some familiarity with: PS, Zegna, etc.
Recently I grabbed the same Zegna posted on this deal. Zegna is made by Marcolin (most designer's outsource). My glasses came in a zip locked marcolin stamped back, the same kind of zip lock bags high end glasses get shipped in to bulk shops.
No reps I have ever seen would make a rep of the typically thrown out zip lock bag… because again, the consumer doesn't usually see those. It's meant to be disposed of generally.
Anywho, this probably sounds disjointed as I am typing on a phone, it's late and I am sleep deprived hah. I am not sure it will help anybody here anyway, as surely someone will call me a shill or think I'm blowing smoke - but I truly do deal with designer stuff as part of my
Job and past job(s). Authenticating is something I typically help people with (though I am not officially an Authenticator) so this is definitely something I truly do know very well compared to many.

For an address and contact information I used the fact that the return address is a PO Box in Miami. So naturally I looked up Eyedictive in the Florida SOS website:

Hope that info helps someone for what it's worth.
No complaints with any of my orders from them.
