    ISO: inexpensive suns `

    i need a line of suns w/good variety that I can retail at about $130 and still make money on. We used to use Marcolin, but they don't really have the basic stuff anymore.

    L'Amy Champion. Couple times a year they run big clearances too. I pick up a bundle for great price, and they still warrant them!

    +1 Their designs have vastly improved recently as well.
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    +1 to the improvement. If you stayed away in the past, might be worth a look. Fewer of those "gas station sunglass" dogs in their collection. The newer stuff look surprisingly relevant, too.

    I second the recommendation of Champion. An even higher recommendation goes to Safilo's Polaroid line, the best bang-for-the-buck sunglass line out there IMHO.
    I'm Andrew Hamm and I approve this message.

    +1 I picked them up a few months ago, styles are great for the price and they come out with new stuff pretty often. And they are all polarized.

    Oh yeah, I agree! Overlooked that.

    INVU from Europa is a great line if you want variety, quality and inexpensive! And they are polarized
