Short videos Identifying Fake Costa Del Mar Sunglasses. I can’t stand long videos with 10 min of fluff only to give the 10 second answer near the end.

I have received a couple harassing messages recently from some people who sell COUNTERFEIT Costa Del Mar sunglasses. I did some background research and know who they are. DUE TO THIS I will be making a few more videos to get under their skin. HAVE A NICE DAY 😀

    The fact Costas exist is proof Americans buy them. Just because you can’t afford them doesn’t mean people should buy Temu trash. I’m guessing you are a trademark counterfeiter by your comment and flawed opinion.

    My pump had it included. Pretty sure you can buy one on Amazon. It’s just a low pressure adapter kit.

    Send me a link from the costa website you ordered from. There are several counterfeit websites advertised on social media that look like the Luxottica Costa Del Mar website but are fake and closed down daily. Send me a picture of your sunglasses. If there is no rubber on the arms and they came to you that way, they are fake. How much did you pay for them? All authentic Diegos have rubber inside the temples. There would be no case Authentic models were sold without it. You have the right to contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charge for fraud in the case they are counterfeit.

    Depends on the model and lens. If they are 580g lenses the lenses are glass and would say 580. If they are 580p the lenses are thick polycarbonate / plastic and would say 580P. They wouldn’t be thin. Plastic frames were originally nylon. Some metal frames are titanium and some are stainless.

    Damn this got me worried now. I just bought me another pair of Diego's on Amazon a couple days ago. It was $82 for the 580p. I thought it was too good to be true but my previous pair of Diego's I bought on Amazon were legit. Do you know where this scum bag sells these online? Hope it's not on Amazon 😑

    Not to stir anything up, but that last pair kind of looks like a fake as well. That Costa logo does not look like their logo. The lettering on the arm doesn't look right either.

    The last pair is actually a graphic from point of sale material that I received from costa prior to the Luxottica merger. I agree the logo with that dot on it irritated me. I was actually just trying to give a visual on the hinge.

    Like I said, if someone is on a budget and just going for the look it’s a option. The polarization and the lens tint isn’t even close on counterfeit Costas though. I have a fishing buddy who works full time and took on a part time job to pay for his daughters school so money is tight. He bought a pair from a local sporting goods store that turned out to be counterfeit. He was pretty disappointed because he thought he was out the money. I met with the store manager and the best we could tell is someone bought them then switched the authentic ones with fakes and returned them and they somehow made it back into inventory. The store manager was able to track the return to the name of the customer who switched them. Nothing will happen from this incident, but he will watch that persons transactions from now on. Congrats on the new shades! What model did you go with?
