Chic and cheap $95 prescription+frame eyewear brand Warby Parker was in the news recently after being ripped off by Bluefly on their one price for all glasses plus special add-ons package. Not only is Bluefly's Eyefly mooching off of ever-popular Warby Park's frames and Rx lens packages, but they also initially used Warby Parker's images as a placeholder on their newly launched website.
But, the good guys in this situation didn't let a little controversy get in the way of a product launch that will bring real good to the world with a collaboration with Invisible Children. You may remember the documentary released a couple years ago, by student filmmakers from California setting out to capture the story and personal narrative of children affected by the Lord's Resistance Army reign in Uganda, that started the whole initiative.
The cause is still going strong years later. Look cool in Warby Parker's Griffin sunglasses complete with grey UV 400 lenses, revolver black acetate frame and five-barrel hinges. Buy them here. Each pair of Griffin sunglasses in black will put $30 towards the fight against the use of children soldiers in Joseph Kony's Rebel War in central Africa.
