Gucci's description of the unusual product is - 'An unconventional take on the '50s and '60s inspired cat eye frames, these sunglasses are presented with an inverted design that created an 'upside down' effect. The frames and temples are created using multiple layers of black and white acetate. Enamelled floral details and a petite 'Gucci' logo further enrich the design'.
Social media users got another opportunity to mock something and this time, rightly so, because the price of these absurd sunglasses is Rs 56,000.
Gucci also tried to tempt their customers by providing them with free delivery within a day. However, even that didn't stop the shoppers from cracking some jokes.
American-Iranian novelist Porochista Khakpour, shared a screengrab of the designer shades from the fashion brand¡¯s site on the micro-blogging platform. In her tweet, she wrote, 'Gucci why are we doing this' and followed it by another tweet which read, 'It¡¯s been a rough year I get it'.
People took to her post and poked fun at the design of the product as well its exorbitant price.

Excuse me mam, but I think I can explain why your vision seems off today. You put your glasses on upside down.
