Warby Parker's glasses come from China. Ethically, they try to balance this out by giving away a pair. Bon Look does the same thing.

I received my try-on frames a few days ago and the quality seems on par with comparable plastic Luxottica frames to me. I know those frames are typically labeled "Made in Italy," but I seriously doubt most of the manufacture takes place there (and even if it does, it's not like the plastic is being molded by Italian artisans!). The Warby Parker frames are significantly cheaper and lack the ridiculous branding most Luxottica frames feature.

I actually found that their try-on frames are worse quality than the actual frames you receive when you purchase them. It could be due do wear and tear by thousands of other people handling the frames before you, but often I found that the try on frames were crooked or had a loose hinge.

The frames I purchased are fantastic, though.

Glad others find the service to be useful.
