As you may know from reading our earlier posts or simply visting our site, we’ve carried different designer sunglasses here on Awesome Avenue almost as long as we’ve been in business.  In this age of drug store sunglasses, I thought I’d put my two cents in on why good shades are really important.  As I mentioned in my previous post, I drove to Palm Springs a couple of weeks ago.   We carry Serengeti Driver Sunglasses here at the store, and I have had a pair for years.  They’re great shades, but I never quite got the feel for them until this past trip to Palm Springs.   It was 95 in the shade, without a cloud in the sky.  At mid-day there was literally no escape from the sun.   With the Serengetis, the glare of the desert didn’t hit me hard, and the two hour drive home (once we cleared the Coachella traffic) was easy.
