Etnia has had a good run with us to date and we have had them for about two years. I like them because the profit margin is good if you don't have a lot of competition carrying it. From my experience...
I would look at Etnia Barcelona for something in terms of comparing color and design. They are still a lower price point than a Face A Face. Also, J.F. Rey is pretty funky, but in my opinion a little...
