    Wave Oliver Peoples frame

    Hey all,
    This is my first post here...I have a patient looking for the discontinued Oliver Peoples TANGO frame. I tried calling Oliver Peoples to get an image of the frame so I can get something similar to it but no luck...also no luck Google image searching and perusing around eBay. So, do any of you know what it looks like? Or something that is comparable to it by Oliver Peoples? Thanks so much!!!!
    Warmly,
    Neva

    P.S. Sorry, I didnt know where else to post this. I hope I dont get in trouble!

    Our OP rep walked in just as I was reading this. He says it's not available anymore (as you know). He'll try to find a photo for you, but to get you started he said it's a small cat-eye shape. I'll get back to you hopefully soon with the photo.

    I can try to get a picture of the Tango for you if you still need it. There are maybe a scant few pieces left in a couple of colors. It was a really small (44mm) ladies zyl squarish cateye.

    The Mia is much more cateye; Tango was more squarish with a little lift. Plus, Mia failed because the bridge was too wide and the top was too flat - the whole fusilage sat too low on the face. Mia is 47 eye, and Tango was 44.

    There is a new frame from the last Vision East called Cylia that is 45 eye and most similar to Tango. It's taking first delivery now. You may also want to check into another new frame from that show called Ninette that is a similar to Tango but is a 48 eye. These are both really great frames for small faces.

    Word!

    The Ninette is more square than Cat Eye. The top does angle up but not much in comparison to a conventional cat eye. There was a ollie peoples kids cat eye that might work. I think the Tillie was the metal version but I dont remember the name of the zyl.

    Thank you!

    Thank you all sooo much for your help. The patient brought in her old Tango frame and the Ninette ended up being the closest match but due to the fact that she has gained a lot of weight since 2002, neither worked for her. So...no luck anywhere. But oh well. I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you for your help everyone! You all rock!
