    Face A Face....anyone have it and/or like it?

    I just saw this line and I thought it was great, but expensive......

    What do you think?

    It's been a couple of years, but I liked it for the styles and colors. At the time, they seemed a bit on the large size, so it wasn't for every face.

    I would agree with Judy. Styles are edgy and interesting and the zyl acetates have some amazing colors. They are expensive, but usually good quality is. They tend to have favorable reps, policies, and terms. Be little careful of some of the metal/titanium pieces, sometimes they have strange mounts and screw configurations. My wife will only wear zyl frames and she has 2 or 3 Face a Face and she continually complains about the weight of them. She prefers her Lafont frames much more.
    Hope that helps

    I personally love the Face A Face line. Modern and very Avant Garde. Its a line that is not for everyone. The office I had it at was high end and yet we only sold 2 or 3 a month.

    watch out for the base curve you use in the zyls. these frames stretch and need frequent adjustments. cool stuff though.

    Absolutely right. NO plus powers with the zyls. 4.50 BC at the highest.
