Every company has its own personality. In some cases, the personality of the company is difficult to distinguish, it is blurry. In that example, the wishy washy or nondescript persona is exactly what the company was conspiring to achieve.

Other companies are the complete opposite and take on the big booming personality of a key owner or founder. This is especially true for entrepreneurial companies who credit their earliest beginnings due the sheer will of a dynamic founder or creator.

Founder Jim Jarred is a hungry, passionate man. He started the company by selling parts for motorcycles out of the trunk of his car in the 1970s. Riffing within the moto-industry, he began to design performance goggles for motocross riders. Here he found the early success that would eventually land him on the Forbes list of Richest People in the World in the early years of the 21st Century.

A natural progression for this idea master was to move into the much more lucrative sunglasses industry. His initial iteration was a line of single lens eyewear products he called, "Eyeshades" (early model pictured below).

A Way to Spot Fakes - One of the easiest ways you can spot fake sunglasses or even a fake purse is by the weight of the products. A fake, knockoff or replica will weigh less than the brand name designer accessory. The fake handbag or fake pair of sunglasses will be mass merchandised using low end and inferior materials. In many cases, a shopper can find the 'metal' accent on a pocketbook's buckle, for example and actually scratch off the shiny paint that makes it appear to be metal. So if you are shopping for cheap Wiley X sunglasses or cheap Armani sunglasses, then it is best to know the regular prices for the authentic designer merchandise. A lot of people like to visit New York City and one of the first things they want to do is head to Chinatown and Canal Street in search of fake desinger handbags in Chinatown. They should know a few important things about that.
