When I lived in Hong Kong, I used to go to Shenzhen to buy glasses and all the black market retailers there were very open about where their frames came from. The markup on brands like Oliver Peoples etc must be insane.
At £20 cost price, I assume the lenses are 95% of that. Injection moulding three bits of plastic can’t cost more than £1.
I wouldn’t mind but most current fashion glasses are rip offs of 50s/60s styles anyway.
