    I received these beautiful Kate Spade Sunglasses in a timely manner. The packaging was perfect to protect them. They were brand new as described and even came with the nice case and cloth. I was so disappointed that they were too big for my face. I knew what they were worth from looking at my optical place. They got sent back this morning.
