Well, you can't have failed to have heard how people are spending less yadda yadda yadda.
The real proposition is: instead of questioning how much you should spend on accessories etc, perhaps we should be asking how much wear will we get out of something we buy for a quick fashion fix?
Long term, emotionally and economically it makes sense to invest only in items that we genuinely adore and make us feel and look good.
The cheap fast-fashion delivered by the high street over the last couple of years, as we've discovered, only lasts a couple of wears/washes: it's here where we think it should stop.
Reuters report this week that production of Italian eyewear is being hit hard by the economic downturn. A world leader in the industry, they've found their main export market to the US dropping by more than 20% at a time of year when sales should be flourishing.
Play your part in keeping it all going by investing in a pair of sunglasses to keep forever. And this pair of Chanel havana frames with pearl detail at the temple is one we're looking to cherish...
