    Is it true?

    I heard a rumor today that Lux is going to make Versace, Bvlgari, Prada and Dolce exclusive? If is true, what is the criteria does Lux look for in selecting who carry's it? Or is Lencrafters gonna be the only one?

    If the rumore you heard is a fact.....they are never going to make LC exclusive, then they need as many sales as they can GET TO PAY FOR THE EXCLUSIVITY.

    Therfore you should buy recesession proof frames and no brand names

    My guess at recesession proof frames would be along the lines of Oliver Peoples/Paul Smith, or lesser known designer/manufactures that can provide quality and design as well as sell for good margins, I havent done anything with MODO for a while, a couple years ago they had a deacent balance of quality/style and $-Value.

    If you go to Vison Expo scan along the back lanes and the ones that have no large booths. You will find dozens of suppliers that can give the right stuff for hard times.
    Just ignore the monster booth with the bikini clad models that model the frames...........................
