    Caviar Sunglasses?

    We had a patient come in today looking for sunglasses, and mentioned a brand called Caviar her friend bought somewhere in the States. Does anyone carry these, and/or know who makes them?

    Woo, thanks for the quick reply. I seriously doubt we'll get them in. They seem quite... pricy. Heh. Thanks again!

    Oleg Cassini Couture is an 18-K gold plated line with stones and resembles the Caviar line for 1/20th the price, currently being discontinued.

    Beware the casual shopper asking for Caviar frames. They may be looking to lift a few. We had two sunglasses that we inherited when the practice was bought. Can you get any more blingy junk on a frame? They were a conversation item to be sure but we couldn't give them away. One day after an odd shopper came in we noticed one was gone and then a week later the odd shopper's friend came in and apparently snagged the other one. There was much rejoicing.

    The Caviars are Gawdy, unique,expensive and those people that buy them really love them. I have carried them for years and they sell, not quickly, but they sell. I have many women that have told me they get more compliments on them than any glasses that they have ever owned. One lady that wears them works in the jewelry department at Walmart, she's sent more people my way than I could keep track of! I have one lady that has 6 pairs that she keeps with her current rx.
    Ultra Palm is the distibutor, not the manufacturer.
    I believe they are Cari Zaloni designed.
