    REM makes Jones New York and John Varvatos, which do exceptionally well for us. Clearvision is another good source for great name brands such as BCBGMaxazria, Ellen Tracy, Marc Ecko, and Cole Haan. I second Kenmark's Vera Wang, and their Kensie is also lovely. Their Jhane Barnes didn't do so well for us, but they are really interesting frames that might excel at another practice.

    A&A has Jimmy Crystal, Quicksilver, Roxy. 2nd the vote for Clearvision, we do well with those. Tura has Lulu Guinness, Geoffery Beene, lots of good stuff.

    We sell Jimmy Crystal's but the patient frequently comes back with rhinestones fallen off. weather this is due to Texas heat, or patient failure to care for their frame, our opticians hate them.



    Edit for spell check.

    500? You must have me confused with Braheem! I stock at least 1,000 of each sku, or I don't stock them at all. (Sorry, local pick up only)

    We do well with REM's Varvatos and Converse line. I've tried their JNY petites also, but didn't reorder. I also recently added ClearVision's BCBG, IZOD & Ocean Pacific. The Converse and OP display well alongside Imagewear's Wildflower collection.

    Etnia barcelona has been doing really well for us after a slow start, Morel w/the Koali line would be a great line for @tx11's needs, their OGA mens line is great too. (all a little bit more ihgh end in price)

    i 2nd kat's vote for europa, they're our main vendor, they don't sell to big box, and i personally have 3 of their frames from the cinzia collection that i LOVE. (more mid range pricing)

    We sell a lot of the above mentioned lines and they do very well: Koali, Elle, Vera Wang, Europa, Jones New York, Kensie, Jhane Barnes, Vera Bradley, and Eddie Bauer are all lines that we sell very well.
