    What is this frame?

    My customer would like another one (she purchased out of the state) and I would love to know what line this is. All the markings have rubbed off.

    Thanks!

    That's a neat looking frame! I've checked the cinzia site, and skaga and prodesign...no luck there, sorry :(...

    Hopefully someone here will know, I'd be interested to find out myself! :)

    It's not an OGI. The quality and construction is really top-notch....

    The frame does not look old! + All nubers are gone = Cheap frame.
    Maybe in Smilen category!
    But it could be a copy of Theo

    I have seen them in some offices. It looks like a design from la eyeworks.

    There is another company that does this design but I can't think of it right now. I will be in an office that carries this line in mid april I can check for you.

    Conquistador?

    We have had some Metzler "Conquistador" line frames in our office (bought at Expo East 4 years ago) and this looks exactly like one of them, right down to the colors. Check them out!

    P.s.

    Metzler shipped them directly from Berlin, so there might not be a U.S. distributor for the Conquistadors. Many years ago Metzler was a major player in the frame business (at least on the East coast), but I haven't seen anyone repping for them in over 10 years.

    Perhaps it's an Oscar & Fitch? Their 2050 and 2051 model look somewhat similar... Just a thought! ;) Good luck!

    Ooh la la de Paris has almost the exact same frame it's called "Todd" but I think it is discontinued. Even the same color combination.
