    Konishi Eyewear

    I viewed this line last week and placed an order for it immediately.
    30 pieces.
    The Konishi Flex, very similar to the Nike Flexon, are awesome.
    And the women's Konishi lite are so beautiful.
    And made in Japan!!! LOL!
    GREAT PRICE!!!!
    What has been your experience with this line?
    I am honestly very excited about these! :)

    I love the Konishi Line. It does extremely well for us. Their Konishi Lites are the only Drill Mount I carry, and I can't keep them in stock. The women love the colors and designs. In my opinion, great value for the product you receive. I can't recall ever having any issues with them (defects, etc...)

    I'm a little down on any frame company who's search results on google yield an online store instead of their own website. Not entirely under their control but still a little disheartening.


    Does anyone have a link to their website?

    We buy it 100 pcs at a time. It's good quality, inexpensive, and the new pieces are quite nice. It's family owned and they stand by their product.

    Are these really made in Japan? I'd like to see one. One thing for sure is that Konishi Lite style KS59 is the same as Ideal/Reflections R717. I'm sure both are made by a certain Chinese company.

    It says "Made in Japan" on the temple...

    Lux has there own factories in Italy, but that doesn't stop them from having their ophthalmics made in China.

    Inexpensive, Japan? Something doesn't fit...

    I can't find the picture in the Ono catalog right now, but they definitely make that frame. Their website is www.chinaeyewear.com, so you can draw our own conclusion.
