Seconds & Samples - Each pair has a minor cosmetic flaw - a small mark, a light scratch, or a slight variation in the frame, or even better, just been used in a photoshoot once! The exact fault is noted next to the specific pair you choose. Same lenses, same UV protection, same bored·george quality, for a lot less. Because they’re one-offs, seconds & samples are final sale: no returns or exchanges.
