A few weeks ago I watched a show about sunglasses, and how once company has completely dominated the entire market. It was an Italian firm called Luxottica Group. They own Ray Ban, Bausch & Lomb, Oakley, Sun Glass hut, etc. They make the sun glasses, and own the stores that sell them to us. The best part is they make the $250 brand name glasses with the gems in them - For Gucci - but sell the same exact glasses without the name and without the gems for $20. Same plant, same design... And people pay out the ass for them.
