The funny thing is that sometimes these imitation brands end up getting a cult following for the irony alone. Dolce & Banana today, meme legend tomorrow. But let's face it, the real deal doesn't snap when you give it 'the gentle bend' test. Live and learn, folks!

In defense of knock-offs, they're not all bad. Had a pair of 'Ray-Bon' glasses that survived a whole summer of festivals. It's all about managing expectations—it won't last, but it'll cost you less than a movie ticket. Sorry to hear about your Dolce & Banana debacle though!

Dolce & Banana—sounds like my kind of brand! Cheap, cheerful, and disposable fashion at its finest. Next time, make sure you buy a pair for every day of the week, so when one breaks, you're all set with another. Problem solved! 😎

Any true sunglass connoisseur knows you can't substitute quality with a knock-off. Even with a name as catchy as 'Dolce & Banana' you're tossing coins into a fountain hoping for a miracle. Shame they broke, but at least you got a good tale out of it.

Okay but aside from obviously being flimsy, how was the style at least? Sometimes these fake brands have the audacity to look almost as chic as the originals. Just imagine if they put that effort into quality instead. Could have been a contender in the fast fashion arena.

This is why I don't even bother with knock-offs. What's the point if they fall apart faster than you can say 'fashion'? Stick to the real deal or get some nondescript shades that won't break your heart—or your wallet—when they snap in two.

Let's be real, nobody was expecting them to last forever, right? To be fair, sometimes these knock-offs are good for a laugh or a costume party but that's about it. Thanks for the heads up tho, won't be tricked into thinking they're some hidden gem 💎

LMAO, Dolce & Banana? 😂 That's some hilariously blatant knock-off merch. I mean, if you buy sunglasses from a stall in the mall, expect them to last as long as a chocolate bar in the sun. Still, props for the punny name, got me chuckling.
