Need frames 44-47 with 28-30+ B

**kikin** · 12-05-2009, 03:29 PM

We have a lot of patients, mostly women (including myself), that have narrow faces and need a deeper lens for multi-focals. I am always scouring the internet for frames to fit them..........had no success at VEW. I talked to a designer, but he wasn't getting it. :hammer: Does anyone know of a line that would fit the bill, and has style?

Check out the Marketplace Forum.

There is some Dude selling off his "Brother-in-Laws" excess inventory!

It looks like there may be some good deals. He even broke them down into size sections as well!

You may be able to purchase a few sales rep frames trays and bags from him/her as well!

There is a huge lack of frames like that. If there were stylish frames in those sizes I could sell them all day long.

We've had some luck with the Thalia line from Kenmark, however most of the frames we use in that collection are grooved rimless, so you have prescription limitations due to thickness. Plus there are several frames in there Dana Buchman and Vera Wang lines that fit what you are looking for.

Looking on framesdata.com (Jobson) when I entered a search for Eye=44-47 B>=28 there were 365 results with representatives from pretty much every major company (including the Kenmark lines I mentioned above) with no single company really sticking out for having more frames than any other company.

It's pretty conservative but it's a good shape and I can't remember the name right now. Also the Timberline line by Marcolin has some. Just went to the website- Cutter&Buck has 2 -Castlerock and Montego .Dakota Smith Belief is 51 eye, remind's me of Logo's discontinued line.

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, my keyboard died. It's so frustrating when you can see everything but can't *&^% type.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have gone through most of those and have used a few. It's sad you have to go through everything to find one or two items. I really am frustrated on this subject. I told a designer, "We're baby boomers, most of us are still working, we have money, and we want style.........." I showed up at the Morel booth wearing one of their discontinued frames....they wanted to comp me a frame----sorry, nothing small enough for me!
When I have a frame that looks good and fits, man I can sell those babies like hot cakes.

I am considering partnering up with my sis, an artist, and doing it ourselves...........yeah, I know.

BTW 51 eye size is way to big.

Here's one.

http://www.mysafilo.com/?p=product&styleNumber=027000

(Sorry, I tested the link but the password must have been saved in a cookie. It's a Team 4119. Bridge is extra wide to accommodate wide bridges and/or nasal lens thickness)

B is 28mm for the 44 eye and 29.5mm for the 46 eye.

I wish I could find a very high quality version of this frame/shape (Tura Tourneau T026 recently discontinued) in titanium. Mid to upper 40's for the eye size, from a vendor with one-for-one exchange policies.
