    Anyone carry Bobbi Brown frames?

    I am interested in moving in this line but my rep doesn't have samples. Anyone have good or bad experiences with them? I am located in a smaller town in the intermountain west.

    I like them! I'm not sure what is considered stylish out in your neck of the woods but they do well here on the East Coast in North Cack-a-lacky. Charlotte is a conservative town (all that banking makes people borrrrring) and the area in which I dispense is very "nouveau riche".

    I think the colors and styles are very flattering and I am glad we picked them up. I had my reservations until I realized they were not designed by Whitney Houston's former husband.

    I don't carry them but I've seen them. Bobbi Brown makeup is the basis for the line, it's carried in larger better department stores. I'm in a similar area to you and I didn't feel like there was enough name recognition yet for a licensed line, but they looked good.

    I looked at them and thought them too thick and clunky for my area.

    But I remember when Kate Spade first came out from Safilo, not good, then a year later got better. Now its one of my best sellers

    Same with Liz Clairborne when Safilo first got the license. Second frame rollout much better.

    I plan on carrying the line, but after the second roll out.
