In November last year, Joan Didion’s Celine sunglasses sold at auction for US$27,000. The author’s well-known love of oversized frames made the pair a collector’s item, but it prompted me to wonder how well she’d taken care of them.
Especially since my (not famous) sunglasses are often thrown into my handbag or pocket without a case, dropped on the floor, left out on cafe tables and just generally abandoned to fend for themselves at the beach and in the car.
