Those damn gas station sunglasses I’ve had for like 15 years. Still good enough that I haven’t replaced them…
Seriously though,
I think the BIFL movement overvalues brands.
Looking for quality and intentionally buying something you like that will be with you for years is more important to me.
Buy less, repair it, use it longer.

I bought a 3 pack of wayfarer sunglasses on Amazon for like $20 like 5 years ago figuring wouldn't matter if I lost them or they broke. Still have them and they're still in good shape.
