When we were younger, we loved Legos. Making little towns could entertain us for hours– or until our Barbie showed up and totally towered over her supposed home.
And we think that these Jean-Charles de Castelbajac customizable Lego sunglasses that we found on Dazed Digital, are too funny.
The sunglasses are available in red, white, and yellow, and can be customized by adding Lego as you please.
While we think that in some cases, paying to DIY a designer product, like this $5,500 Fendi baguette and this lettered black Roger Vivier bag, can get kind of ridiculous.
That said, we can’t help but want to try to create our own Lego masterpiece. And at just over $150, the shades are quite a bit cheaper than the make-you-own purses.
With Ray Ban offering up their Colorize kit, and items like the One-Dress being sold, we have to ask, do you get nervous at the thought of being left to your own devices and prefer your purchases to be ready-made or are you willing to shell out to DIY your designer goods?

gzus, i see the fashion industry is getting really creative with the whole how-to-charge-the-most-$$-for-the-least amount-of-work-and-cheapest-materials on their end. and if we as consumers let them get away with it i suppose we deserve it.
Fendi especially pissed me off with that one.
to me personally, this is just as silly as if Sotheby’s tried to sell me a blank canvas at the price of a Gustav Klimt painting.
but as Andy Warhol put it best “art is what you can get away with”…
don’t you mean ‘left to your own devices’ ?
Um, yep Guest 5. Sorry :) Is it possible that the rain is killing my spirit…and my brain cells? Thanks for the heads up.

This is kind of ridiculous. And they’re not even that cute.
Why is there so many people hating these glasses? I find that they’re actually pretty stylish for being so simple and I love the nostalgia coming from these shades. They’re practically impossible to find for a North American like myself though, haha…
