NYS Collection

NYS Collection Eyewear
Avoid this company like the plague! I bought a pair of sunglasses for $ 30 and within 16 days they broke. I went back to the «stand» in the mall where I bought them in San Francisco and got two very different answers to my complaint:
(1) we only give store credit and only for items that we can sell again; since your glasses broke, we can’t help you.
(2) the «manager» then came on the scene and said that since this happened 16 days after purchase, I had missed the deadline to return them since that is two weeks.
They did nothing, offered no help, acted pompous and I left never to return again.

i never understood why i need to pay 300 $ for shades when i can get 2 of the same style for 25 $ at NYS collection. last time i went there i bought 5 of them and i got a better deal — 5 for 50… they have new styles all the time and my favorite is the clear that looks like Ray Ban.
go check it out, i saw they have a kiosk at Westfield shopping center downtown.

Just discovered this place yesterday – totally cool «Diesel-​inspired» and «Ray Ban-​inspired» designs. The price is right and you’ll get cool sunglasses for cheap. I was happy to read the original viewer wasn’t bowled over by the great service. I noticed the only note on the cash register was a yellow sticky note with the number for security, so, guessing they have to keep the sunglasses from walking away and this makes the person who works there grouchy. Oh well. Still, it’s where I’m going from now on for sunglasses, because as much as I’d like a nice pair I lose/​break sunglasses about every six months.

I used to buy cheap sunglasses, and then I started making more consistent money and started buying the real deal. (Dior, Gucci and Chanel being my favorites) Now that I have a boyfriend who is conscious of how much I spend, I have learned that if I’m gonna spend the money, I better buy something and never lose it.
Which I do do now. I have my basic 5 pairs of sunglasses that I’ve had for 3 years or so and I love them, and never lose them. I’m not past admitting though that if I came here and saw something cute, I wouldn’t not buy it because it’s not the real deal. I’m a non discriminatory shopper: I buy anywhere and everywhere, Nordstrom, Juicy, Pay Less, Gucci and Target. If it’s cute and decently made and won’t fade in the washer or dryer I will buy it regardless of who made it.
Anyway, my BF loses sunglasses like crazy and therefore we don’t spend money on him and his sunglasses. During our recent trip to Wisconsin, he lost his pair again, so today we went to the mall and bought him 2 new pairs that looked super designer for $ 30. The guy wasn’t around or too helpful, but for these Kiosk things, it’s pretty much self service anyway.
2 pairs of super cute sunglasses for $ 30? What a steal… if I ever lose my other pairs, I may start revisiting this place again…

If you’re anything like me, you tend to lose and/​or damage your sunglasses like crazy. I am a sunglass fanatic anyway, so I have quite a few pairs already (at least a dozen)…but I lost TWO of my most favorite pairs of sunglasses (one Gucci and one Chanel — both the real deal), EVER and don’t want to spend a couple hundred bucks to replace them. (Until I hit the lottery jackpot, I’m not buying expensive sunglasses ever again. But I will accept them as gifts. and Christmas is coming up… hint hint…)
Anyway, I headed over to NYS Collection, where they have knockoffs of all the top designers — Dior, Ferragamo, Chanel, Gucci, Coach, Fendi, etc. for $ 15 or two pairs of $ 25. Sometimes the service is not so great, but eh, it’s a mall kiosk. TWO FOR $ 25. Completely worth it.
