Overpriced, flimsy, plastic trash. Had a pair of their sunnies for less than 12 months before they broke. Was very careful with them and never dropped them or left them anywhere they could possibly get damaged. Went to put them on the other day and the right arm just snapped and completely fell off. For $70 this is an absolute joke. Reached out to… Read more
them nearly a week ago to give them a chance to rectify this before leaving a bad review and they have completely ignored me. Don't waste your money. If you want a pair of plastic sunnies, go to the servo or the chemist. They will be the same, if not better quality for a fraction of the price. So sick of getting ripped off by companies like this. Avoid!
Very poor quality frames as they broke after about 6 months, contacted them and advised they have never had any issues and only 6 months warranty. They are not much cheaper than the better brands, would not recommend
The sunglasses fit great and look great. However I have only had them 5 months. The one time they have fallen off my head (which happens) the nose piece snapped bit disappointed I thought the products used on the sunglasses would be better quality
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Dishonest and a terrible experience I ordered a pair of sunglasses as a gift that unfortunately due to circumstances I needed to send back. When I reached out I was told they don't accept change of mind repairs. However in reading the warranty and returns policy on their website it clearly stated that they accept returns up… Read more
to 30 days.
When I pointed this out they said they would accept the return. The sunglasses had never come out of the box or been opened so I sent it straight back. Once they had received the item I was sent a photo saying the glasses were scratched and not in resellable condition. I had never even unwrapped them!!
I have since been told they will not be issuing a refund. To make matters worse they said that if i want the glasses back I will need to send them a pre paid postage label. WHAT IS THIS COWBOY COMPANY!
Avoid dealing with these people at all costs, dishonest business that will do anything to keep your money.
Have had numerous vendetta colours, never had a problem with any of them , best bang for you buck
Extremely weak frames – $60 for a pair, lasted less than 12 hours. Frame snapped at random while sitting on my face, not from impact or even from putting them on.
Disappointed – Lasted just over a month before falling apart, the frame broke and cannot figure how it happened as they were just sitting on my head. From other comments, it seems like this is a common issue with these sunglasses. They were great initially, but for the price, I expected much better quality. Honestly, $20 servo glasses would have been a smarter choice. Such a shame!
Okay but not robust – The sunglasses functioned well. However I dropped the sunglasses from approx 50cm and the frame snapped. Not the most robust product.
Great feel and great design – Great feel to these sunglassses and a personal favourite in design. Had minor issue but the customer service team went above and beyond - fast and accurate help. thanks Carve
Not worth the money – Sunnies were ok for a few months but I just cleaned them and the glass appears to have shattered. Well priced but poor quality.
Great for people who want bigger frames – Great quality for the price. I have a big head so they fit me the best compared to other high prices brands
don't bother – you get what you pay for! well actually you don't. Cheap design cheap quality. Packaging sub standard. 5months in delaminated. Frames weak.
Poor quality and service – Got 2 pairs of carve sunnies that looked great. Both lenses in both pairs delaminated after a few months. Took a pair back and got a new pair and same happened to them. Contacted Carve multiple times and got no answer on the phone and it took 4 months to answer email. They told me they should never be left in any heat! They are sunnies so should… Read more
be designed to handle the sun!! Said they would send me a new pair and never did. Do yourself a favour and buy Liive sunnies, same style and price and the 2 pair I got have never had an issue

Have had 3 pairs all same problem – Have purchased 3 pairs over about a 2 years have found them to be reasonable quality however they all had the same problem within 5 months the lenses started to delaminate to the point that they were not wearable Will have to find alternative
Reasonably Priced - Be Careful of Carve Kingpin Model – Good sunnies and reasonably priced. I suggest you avoid the Carve Kingpins as the frame is weak and breaks quite easily. See photo below of my 2nd Pair of Carve Kingpins. Thanks
BROUGHT 2 PAIRS – Great glasses well priced sunglasses and have amazing polarised lens so I brought 2 pair just in case I can't find one. Plus the blue light ones for the computer
Faulty batch – I have always bought Carve "The Island" sunnies for a few years now. Love them. First pair lasted me years till lost them. Recently replaced them to find they snapped on day two on the top inside bend. Replaced by City Beach. Those ones snapped same place 3 days later. No drop. No sitting on them. Just snapped. Got another pair which have lasted a… Read more
few months but today snapped in same place. There must be a faulty batch. Not happy. You can see that the groove is not deep enough. Must be pressure on the frame.
Watch Lens don’t pop out! – I purchased a few pairs of carves over the years and have been happy.For $50 they are a good buy for polarised sunnies. I bought a pair of Electrify carves recently for a trip.The lens are edging out the frame already. Not a good look for very little wear!
Carve sunglasses – I brought a pair back in late December 2018 and the lenses have delaminated around the edges making it hard to see through 5-6 weeks wear not great value for money
Perfect but one major fault – Carve sunnies are brilliant, well designed and good looking with all the ideal eye protection as well as moderately priced...however, I recently bought two pairs for use during water sports as they are advised as 'floatable'..this is 100% false advertising...luckily i tested the theory in a bucket before entering the river..my first pair did not… Read more
float but i thought that maybe it was a manufacture fault...understandable...but the second pair also just sunk...the only way 'floatable' could have been conceived is that they are light weight and they sink very slightly slower..would still buy their products but certainly not for their claimed 'floatability'
Hi There, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to… Read more
Rectified my issue – Happy to say that Carve have looked into my issue again and have rectified the problem. They have turned my customer experience around to a positive one and have to thank them for that
Great Buy – I bought a pair of CARVE Volley sunglasses from there websites which included free postage. They arrived super fast / next day I had them so was very happy. They are top quality and are the best sunglasses i have owned and i have had a lot, and a just great to wear! I would recommend these glasses to anyone.

Disappointed – Love the style of the Carve sunglasses but very disappointed with the quality because the plastic glass distorts your view. With the glasses being $59.99, I feel this is not good value.
Hinge broke within 3 weeks – The hinge on the glasses broke within 3 weeks of owning them. I contacted Support for a replacement to be sent out, which they promptly sent one. That was back in January 2018 and I still haven't received my replacement pair so they're full of crap. Horrible quality and literally ZERO customer support. Their customer support lied to me, they never sent a replacement.
Carve sunglasses cheap servo specs – Carve write that on the side of their glasses they are acetate style. There is no such thing. Glasses are acetate or plastic. That would be like writing on the side of a plastic bottle (glass style bottles) it's just incorrect. Just as bottles are either glass or plastic, glasses are either plastic or acetate. Many expensive greedy fashion… Read more
labels like Oroton are turning to cheap plastics to bring down costs and increase profits. The Under $60 plastic glasses price range are at the bottom of the barrel.
Acetate are hand carved high quality where as plastic is pumped out by the thousands and sell anywhere from $14 to $35. Carve are nothing more than cheap plastic sunglasses. cheap mislabeled, poor colours, cheaply made
