What is the truth about the price of glasses in the circulating picture of the Iraqi Prime Minister?

A post on social media was circulating, claiming that "Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani is wearing sunglasses worth $45,000 from the French brand Louis Vuitton."

Clarification:
The claim is misleading and inaccurate. As in the official Louis Vuitton website, it is found that the golden-colored (Ash) sunglasses costs $765, approximately 1 million Iraqi dinars. Additionally, the silver ones cost at $780.

 

 

 

 

The circulated image was uploaded on The Luxury Closet, a shopping website. A search on the website revealed that they are offering the sunglasses for $587 (approximately 769,000 Iraqi dinars).

 

 

 

 

 


It is worth mentioning that the image is taken from a video clip of the Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani's visit to Al-Hakeem Public Hospital on 23rd of May, in order to examine the project progress.
