What Are Fake Sunglasses?
Mostly, they are counterfeits. Fake sunglasses are any sunglasses that purport to be true designer products, but that are inferior in style, workmanship, or materials. While some experts classify “replicas” and “inspired-by” designs as “fakes,” they are not true fakes if they state clearly that they are not the real deal. If you buy “replica Chanel” or “inspired by Ray-Ban,” you are generally going to assume that they are not genuine. But if a vendor sells you a pair of “Maui Jim” sunglasses, it can be tough to know whether you have bought the genuine article or a counterfeit.
