This guy has the confidence of the CEO of an unshakable monopoly.
He's got that super villain energy from a Bond movie.
Definitely has that super villain vibe and totally creeps me out.
I'm wondering about Chinese competition
@@juniorjohnson5961 Italian brands have the reputation and aura of quality, desirability, exclusivity, Chinese just the opposite so until that changes no need for them to worry.
@@charliesargent6225
Hahaha! Since Luxottica bought it, Rayban glasses are made in China.
That guy sounds like a freaking mob boss when he talks about the Oakley takeover. “They understood life was better together.” Yikes.
Lmao 🤣🤣
He made them and offer they couldn’t refuse 😂😂
"Please stop with the questions. I do not like. We stoppa now."
@@mstrikesback168 lmao
Oakley is garbage now
The Friday Checkout viewers gonna bombard the comment section LoL.
yes lol
Yo
Yes we are here
Yup
Yeahh
Who else is here from The Friday Checkout on September 10 2021?
Making a tiny time capsule for this comment LOL!
lets go ❤️
ye
What's the Friday Checkout?
The only thing this guy needs is a cat and he would be the perfect villain in a James Bond movie or a mission imposible.
Ethan, James, I have won.
John Oliver's joke? czcams.com/video/00wQYmvfhn4/video.html
You mean make him the villain from Inspector Gadget?
I gave them an offer they can't refuse. “They understood life was better together.”
That part of the interview was very, very Italian.
😯
Happy Friday Checkout
✌️
‘This should be seen by millions, not few thousands!
Indeed! It has been seen by millions on CBS News' CZcams channel.
its re uploaded and this is not real uploader
There are other videos about Luxottica monopoly with millions of views
And what kind of difference would that make. The guy is right.
People want to spend 400 dollars on a plastic frame with the word channel on it so it is worth 400 dollars.
We all like to be a little different and luxury brands are about status not about quality.
that woman is wonderful, assertive, direct and knows perfectly what she wants
This guy is straight some Bond's villain for sure
But you must respect how calm and collected he is
I wouldn't say that... It would be better for you to go along that Bond himself is the villain.
I came here from The Friday Checkout. Damn.
I’ve been sent by the tech Tech Friday
You're not the only one here
Consumers have become aware of this and people are becoming smarter about their decisions.

I worked for Luxottica. The quality of these glasses is no better than what youd find at the dollar store. About once every 3 months, we would fill a dumpster with perfectly good glasses, some still in cases. They wouldnt sell them at a marked down price. They trashed them to get money for them. And the managers are garbage. I was fired for getting injured at work. They dont give a rats ass about their employees.
The section of this segment concerning Ray-Ban could be expanded to a full segment of its own. Look at what Luxottica did to Ray-Ban, a once high-quality American brand. Luxottica swooped in, cannibalized the brand and cheapened it while jacking up the price. How do I know? I have a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers from 1984 that I got in high school, and I still wear them today-and they look brand new. Not only the is the frame high quality zyl, but they have genuine Bausch & Lomb UV lenses that are glass, not plastic. They also-and this is crucial for any quality glasses-have heavy duty seven barrel hinges that are riveted, not glued on. Most Luxottica frames are cheap plastic, both the frames and the lenses, and they use cheap plastic spring hinges that are cheap to manufactuer but break very easily and don't last long. If we only lived in a just society with an FTC that had the power to break up mafiosi operations like Luxottica, the US consumer would get a fair deal on eyeglasses.
@@danielstoddart Do you have a model number or a way to look up those glasses?
Which luxottica did you work at?
@@keeler1160 The model number is "B&L 5022."
I have 97 Ray bans SPOTLESS and they were from France and made by Bausch and Lomb. Cant get these babies anymore. Theyre FANTASTIC.
I own about 30 pairs of sunglasses and prescription glasses. The best built and best optics are the Maui Jim sunglasses, hands down. Now owned by Kering Eyewear.
100% Agree! And Maui Jim not owned by Luxottica, as you say owned by Kering Eyeware. One way to avoid the Luxottica monopoly.
I'd also recommend Shuron, which is a made in the USA brand. Perhaps too traditional for some people, but they do have quality zyl, will install glass lenses, and most important of all they use riveted barrel hinges, not those awful cheap spring hinges that break constantly.
Ah yes, Maui Jim, the company that definitely didn’t totally rip off the Ray-Ban logo and its placement on their lenses...
The owner of Luxottica died a few weeks ago... He was a great man, he spent his childhood in an orphanage, started to work at 14 but since he was so clever his employer sent him to a design school... He worked hardly all his life , for his 80th birthday he gave all his employees, 180.000 people all around the world, some shares.. He was a humble, simple and clever person
Lo scaltro imprenditore dal 1961 al 1967 ha fatto intensamente ricorso al lavoro a domicilio nel paesino di Agordo e dintorni. In ogni casa di quel circondario in provincia di Belluno centinaia di lavoratori, per giornate che le otto ore le superavano ampiamente, senza alcun contratto di lavoro per buona pace dei sindacati e senza assistenza sanitaria, hanno contribuito all’accumulazione del capitale che ha consentito a Del Vecchio di fare grandi acquisizioni, grazie a una multinazionale che ha sostanzialmente il monopolio delle più grandi griffe di occhiali.
Un’accumulazione di capitale piuttosto dura, fondata spesso sul lavoro delle donne e - si racconta - in alcuni casi dei minori. Una storia per alcuni versi simile a quella dei Benetton, che ricorda l’accumulazione originaria nel 1700 in Inghilterra, raccontata da Carlo Marx nel Capitale. Come spiega Marx per argomentare la nascita del capitalismo e la sua rapida ascesa, a differenza dell’epoca feudale, non c’è merce più preziosa della forza lavoro per accumulare ricchezza con rapidità, grazie a una enorme estrazione di plusvalore che nessun’altra merce produce.
A proposito di Del Vecchio, Gian Antonio Stella, grande conoscitore del suo Veneto, in un’intervista che rilasciò a chi scrive, sempre su SenzaFiltro, concordava con la diagnosi, forse irriverente, che quella distribuzione fosse un modo per risarcirli o ringraziarli.
@@eugeniog.2719 cioè fammi capire, invece di scagliarti contro le vere aziende capitaliste, quelle americane, le multinazionali del web ecc, tu te la prendi con le nostre aziende, la Luxottica che è l'unica azienda Italiana che veramente dà del filo da torcere al resto del mondo, portando lavoro e prestigio all'Italia? Poi uno che nel 2022 sta a leggere Marx deve avere problemi mentali...
@@MARK-gp9hb Se tu sei un imbecille non è colpa mia. Se sei una bestia ignorante nemmeno. Se non sai leggere un articolo che spiega le origini di Luxottica non è colpa mia.
Cazzate 😁
After working for LensCrafters for a few years. It was insane to see the price jumps. Customers spent 1000s of dollars with their flex-spending accounts for a couple or a few pares of glasses.
well as an Italian it kinda make me laugh: we live under US monopolies for pretty much everything, from beverages to computer operative systems. Congratulation to mr Del Vecchio for having been able to create a huge opportunity from a crap product. Chapeau!
Sono gelosi. Non li ascoltate.
Pieno di razzismo anche, basta leggere i messaggi… Addirittura tutto comparato alla mafia.
Imitating them is not an excuse.
Ahahah so true
Is a China monopolies now, In America 90% of what you buy is made in China and Americans fatten the Chinese Communist Party which has always ruled China with an iron fist. Washington is not ashamed of its sins because politicians sell themselves to the highest bidder!
I'd like to see her doing a material about America’s Global Weapons Monopoly.
Cristiano Roscaldo i do agree with you although it is not a monopoly since russia and china are competing as wel!
@@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223 Let us not forget France.
Yep! This is their game - capitalism.
And Microsoft, and Intel, and Amazon, ...
The monopoly is being slowly broken here in London at least, where there are several independent outlets who manufacture their own frames to a higher standard & lower price than branded Luxottica frames.They are not hard to find online, however they have nowhere near the marketing muscle of the big fashion brands.
This guy it’s sharp with his words. True salesman.
There's a difference between a good salesman, which I respect, and the lying scumbag.
I bought Coach eyeglasses at Lenscrafters for almost $500 thinking they would be more durable. The side broke within a month and they are scratched even after paying extra for anti scratch. Took them to the store and the guy told me too bad, nothing they can do. Went to another lady in the store and she told me about sending them to "Luxottica" but that people didn't know about or use that option much and the first guy had never heard of it. They did fix the side only quickly, but I will never buy from Lenscrafters again. Ones I've bought from Walmart are still going strong with zero scratches and held up much better.
That’s because they aren’t “anti-scratch” the correct term is scratch resistant. If someone is using the word anti-scratch they are rookie Opticians.
Luxottica "illusion of choice" eye wear monopoly
_$20 at cost, $150 retail
I would have lived to see if it was an American brand if this report was made the same way. Which names do you want?
What about other things? When you spend $150 for a pair of Levis jeans, how much do you think they cost making? And how much do you think the workers got paid for making them in Bangladesh? How much do you think a $1000 iphone costs to be made in China?
Buying out Oakley is not a theory---that's what you did.
And yet the guy seems harmless
thanks to tech altar for sharing this masterpiece of information and thanks to the spectacle emporium too
It's a fashion item for some. The brand on it is what you are paying. Not that different from other clothing items many are willing to pay a premium just so they can show off.
Holy shit they own everything!
Welcome to late stage capitalism. Same goes for Disney, Google, Apple Facebook and Amazon. Top three richest people in the world own as much as the bottom 3 billion. We need to tax the rich and help the poor.
They probably own you too!
I used to be a store manager at Sunglass Hut, Luxottica designed our brands too
i still work here at the luxxotica agordo
The journalist should even investigate about. Apple, who produce the their electronics and sell themi at hyperbolic prices in their stores. But being an Amrican firm. that's ok.
The shame is that an Italian company bought an American brands , that's unforgivable.
I really can't stand this type of journalists who want to look "Consumers defender" just once a week.
luxottica made Oakley an offer they couldn't refuse
"And when Mr. Bigglesworth get's angry, people die!" - Dr. Evil 😂
This is an amazing documentary 🤣🤣
I mean, Chanel glasses would be expensive regardless of who manufactures them, and many luxury brands exploit cheap labour. Luxottica is a solid firm which treats their employees very well, they just simply managed to become a monopoly the same way American firms dominate most markets.
Imitating them is not an excuse.
@@sergejisd imitating? that's not what they do. They are paid by these firms to manufacture their glasses, the same way they would outsource that process to someone else in another country, and this is all transparent
@@gianlucaspinato9817
You said yourself that "they just simply managed to become a monopoly the same way American firms dominate most markets." That's imitating. Read your comments before posting them. And btw, Ray Ban is owned by Luxottica.
@@sergejisd they own Ray Ban and they manufacture glasses designed by other companies. They are not a monopoly because they imitate, but because they both manufacture and sell these glasses since they bought retailing chains. It cannot be an imitation because, for example, Chanel designs the glasses and pays Luxottica to manufacture these goods, retaining an agreed share of the profits. Imitation, fully legal, is more what Zara and H&M do by studying fashion trends and designing their own clothes accordingly.
@@gianlucaspinato9817
You said it yourself. Re-read what you wrote. Amazon does the same. Grow up.
And now they do make lenses as they merged with the largest lens manufacturer and are now EssilorLuxottica. So now not only do they set pricing for most of the frame market, but the optical lens market as well.
I make lenses for luxottica lmao
Prices are set by the customer, you can buy Luxottica glasses for cheap if you want to, but guess what, people prefer to buy the more expensive ones, especially women. The same can be said for shoes and clothes.
Good
Why are people offended by this? What do you think happened when wallmart or cosco or any retail giant came to your neighborhood back in the day? Everybody complaining here, check your browser history. 80% of you will have amazon in there. People are so easy to comment without thinking!
What I’m seeing is a Italian company living the American dream!
Amazon doesn't set the prices and has competition. If I want to buy a stuffed bear, I can go to Amazon or my local toy store or Walmart or any other companies. Walmart doesn't have an 80% market share, nor does Amazon.
Evan Roden your missing the point, this is the maximum a company can obtain in a capitalistic reality, where they control the market from production to retail. There is nothing more after that. This is the max a company can do. Microsoft did a good job at it, but if you really wanted you could by a Mac or Linux? Not for it/not against it but that’s the essence.
Brewery’s in the UK and Holland do the same thing. Over the years they bought a majority of the pubs and inns. They would lease the pub on the condition that all beverages and beer would be supplied by the brewery and sister companies.
@@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223 This is absolutely a monopoly, and should be regulated as such. There's a reason Microsoft wasn't allowed to produce their own hardware when they held a near-monopoly on computer software.
Evan Roden there are plenty of brands that are not luxotica and with e-commerce the market is open. Also, instead of the bigger glasses stores owned by luxotica try the smaller independent stores. They can sell whatever brand they want.
@@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223 Most people don't buy glasses, but get them through insurance, so we can't shop around. We have to go to an in-network optician for the test, frames, and lenses.
I'd like to say there's no difference between the cheap glasses and the more expensive ones, but I've worn glasses almost my entire life and I've noticed that the more expensive frames are way more durable and have a "heavier", more sturdy feel. The lenses (prescription) also don't scratch as easily and if they're tinted, the tint just seems more even. They're still way over priced, but they are higher quality.
You totally contradict yourself in this comment man, go back and read the whole paragraph and tell me you didn’t start by saying that cheap glasses and expensive ones are the same and then you moved on to saying “but still are high quality” 🤦🏻
@@ayrtonvillalobos4213 No, you just have a hard time with english.
And they are not affected by hair products as much.
Of course cheap glasses may look similar but they are not at all. as an optician I tell this becareful exspecially with cheap or plastic lenses, and there is a very good reason for that.
Of course. Those are well made glasses, it is not just cheap plastic as the journalist claims. It's just jeaulosy.
Why's everyone complaining? The guy's right, they're worth as much as people are willing to pay for them. When I buy sunglasses, I pick Chinese copies that are worth $5.00.
If you're gonna pay more for the brand, it's your fault.
This man is a creepy ass genius 😲

He's the Mr. Burns of the eyeglass industry.😂
Luxotica reminds me of Bbk electronics, overall same strategy.
No, it's different
Are you out of your mind or high crack bbk is the total opposite bcz of them today everyone is getting very good phones at 200$ otherwise which would have been atleast 400$ . Especially in my country of India .
@@bloodwargaming3662 nah, xiaomi.
This is an Italian monopoly as USA has monopoly of social media, search engine, microchips ecc.
I paid $12 for a pair of stylish glasses at Target which still has a UV-rating on it. I could have bought a basic one for $8.
Iam from India where the per capita income is 2,000$ and a pair glasses with lens for my specs was 50$ after conversion I bought it from RayBan . My parents are rich enough to afford that but still why ?
Do you know that target eyewear is Luxottica?
Who came from the friday checkout?
Wow.
Love the confidence and answers of that CEO
So evil
I have a hard time understanding the angle and the tone of this report. Aren't Americans supposed to be fierce capitalists? Or does that apply only to American companies? What business do they have asking a company for their mark-up? You find their glasses exceedingly expensive? Buy Chinese. Oh, no, wait.....
monopolies are the issue. Didnt seem right how they treated Oakley. Put them out of business because they disagreed.
@@mstrikesback168 Caterpillar does this constantly with small European businesses. It's the way capitalism works. It looks to me that for Americans monopolies aren't good if the company isn't american....
Mr. del Vechio could have easily told the interviewer, "You do understand I can't let you leave the building alive". ;-). He really exudes that villainous demeanor, with matching accent ! ;-)
I have never seen an interviewer so seemingly oblivious to the concept of licensing . No doubt she would be shocked to see how many designer fragrances are made at the same company thru licenses. Bedding, furniture, eyeware, fragrances, housewares...ready to wear , different price point auxiliary clothing labels... all licenses . Frequently the only product a name design house actually makes is the premium clothing. An ad for the brand. Everything else is a license with varying degrees of input and control. Licensing the name is the cash cow.
She is also unaware of the concepts of brand value and of brand equity. And the difference between being a manufacturer and being a brand. Like she is very ignorant.
and she s happy and wont challenge her boss buying her a thousands dollars jewelry
If the man from Luxottica had been a US American, he would have been celebrated as another praiseworthy example, a champion of a self-made man. Another ideal American who has worked hard and made the American dream come true again. But being an Italian (could have been any other nationality I suppose, different from the interviewer's obviously) he is transformed into a sort of villain. Why didn't Chanel, Dior, Ray Ban and all the other brands go to find help to a cheap Chinese company for their precious eyeglasses? By this time, they would have disappeared from the market. Do you still think that Bulgari, Versace and many other famous Italian brands are still Italian? Go and check out. This is part of what they call the global market. Sorry if the USA is not so competitive once in a while... it may happen that someone else can work better in their own country than in America. Oh, by the way why do American people continue to call some brands of cheeses 'Parmiggiano Reggiano' when they have obviously nothing to do with the real 'Parmeggiano Reggiano' and taste so awful? Go and ask your compatriots... This is villain!
Exactly!!!!!!

That was a great video .
Great documentry
I’ve known this for a long time and the consumers are completely screwed.
He's not a villain, he sniffed the opportunity of the market, he had the strategy and jumped out in front of success.
Just look how beautiful it handled the difficult questions, this is master class on day to day life,evolving in that direction, avoiding irritations and violence...
Do not be obtuse
Shop only from small retailers just because this guy owns almost the entire market,if you find something who fit your taste, or gives you a new taste, why not?
well they might be expensive but still cost less than a insuline shot in the US.
Who came here after tech altar video
Yea.. right… what’s wrong? It’s a free world… they won 🤷♂️ Good business… well done. Dream of every world company
It's practically a monopoly, that's the problem. No one cares that they are successful. Of course being successful is the dream. Being a monopoly & consolidating an entire market ISN'T. Because it means consumers have no where else to go, so that monopoly can take advantage with nothing stopping them. Same with a totalitarian government, it's not okay to have complete control so that citizens/consumers are pigeonholed into whatever that govt/organization decides. Unless you wouldn't mind living in north Korea... Yeah, it's hyperbolic, but it gets the point across just the same. The people should have options, agency in their decisions. But if a company owns the entire market, then you as a consumer are at the complete whim of whatever the hell that company decides.
@@asideofaioli4630 Yep. Now look at news companies & food companies. Thats a monopoly of about 5 companies. The illusion of choice.
@@asideofaioli4630 You say the same about Facebook, Twitter who are monopolized by LIBERALS and shut out opposition views and commentary, helped elect an incompetent and changed the WORLD??? These are just glasses DUDE.

The most BS answer Ive ever seen.
I love my Persol Steve McQueen's!
And wouldn't you know a few months after this interview went live, Luxottica announced their decision to voluntarily delist from New York stock exchange!
I moved to buying online and haven't looked back. The eyeglass biz is a scam when buying these brands in a store. The coatings cost is also a scam. I've gone from paying over $600 for a pair of glasses to $89. They actually hold up better, the expensive lenses scratched easily and these don't, and I get complements just the same. Never going back to the ripoff folks.
Can you please share the websites your shop online at?
@@Alainesteph I'm not the person you asked, but check out Zenni Optical and EyeBuyDirect.
that ceo seems like a evil corporate genius
I mean sometimes we have to admit that a company has made all the right moves and is succeeding. The fact that their competition was incompetent isn't their fault.
Great information! Thanks!
the world looks through the eyes of luxottica.
It's utterly shameful how eye glass frame and lens manufacturers are exploiting people through their medical needs. The need to wear glasses isn't a luxury by any measure, and those who "need" to wear glasses should be taken care of not for profit but to help them without breaking their bank account. Utterly shameful!
Well... this just makes me *_extra happy_* that I've never had or needed glasses!🤩😌👀😳😍😇
You've never had sunglasses?
@@edwinramirez4508 No, not even those!😇My naked eyes 👁👁are brown, so I don't need sunglasses! Good UV protection in my naked eyes!👀😍
Private companies make glasses using federal bureau of prison inmates, pay them 50 cents an hour, then sell them back to the feds for top dollar. They also have unicorp in prison and they do the same thing with office furniture. A chair costs about 50 to make then they sell them back to the feds for 1200.00
You can get some good discounts at sunglass hut...for instance I bought a pair of TIFFANY sunglasses that was last year model they were 465.00 I bought them for 105.99 so my point is you do not have to pay full price.
How is this all legal?
If you’re looking at classic Ray-Bans then give Randolph Engineering and American Optical a shot.
Independently owned, made in the USA, and much higher quality.
I checked them out. Much higher price as well! But if the quality is superb…

Honda has 20 different cars so you buy the style that you like, most of racing bikes are made by one manufacturing in Taiwan but people buy the street bikes that they likes,
Just bought a pair of Versace glasses today! It’s the way they look and how they make us feel. So I paid for the bold and bling preferred. Good thing I usually get min of 5 years out of everyday glasses.
But they could also look and make you feel but still have everyday competitors that offer a good quality if this bond villain didn't take them all. It's the same thing as Mercedes owing all car brands and only selling luxury cars and entry cars at luxury prices.
@@cooltwittertag sad isnt it? But these days of mega monopolies are finally coming to an end. Stick around, 2022 is gonna be an interesting year.
