Oprah Winfrey sunglasses ignited social networking sites, after the fiery interview she had with the couple Harry and Megan Markle, and plunged the British royal family into a crisis, as viewers wondered where Oprah Winfrey bought her glasses, and the answer was in the Swiss city of Zurich. According to AFB.
The glasses of the famous American media drew attention during the interview, which was broadcast on Sunday by the "CBS" channel, and was followed by about 17 million viewers in the United States and 11 million in Britain. This led to a flood of orders that flooded the brand.
The brand is headquartered in the small Swiss city of Vandensville on the banks of Lake Zurich. Founded in 1993 by Sven Gotti. It produces eyeglasses in small quantities, not exceeding ten thousand pairs per month, and is sold by independent specialists.
A spokesperson for the brand explained that these glasses are manufactured in small workshops in Switzerland. It is sold at a price ranging between 400 and 500 Swiss francs (430 and 537 dollars).
Oprah's glasses were specially designed for the interview, and their design bears the title “OR02” signed by Sven Gotti, who met with the famous American media with the large collection of glasses. Two years ago by one of her favorite optometrists in Washington.
Gotti continued, "She designed two different glasses for her, but when she saw them, she was so impressed with them that she did not know which one to choose, so she took the two together."

The Swiss manufacturer, which employs about 30 people in Vadensville, will have to redouble its efforts to meet this demand.
