I Need help in choosing high end frames

**beertv** · 02-17-2006, 11:09 AM

I am looking for a few frame lines that are high end, and of the best possible quality. I do not want high end fashion and high end price with out the quality. I would define high end for me as being frames that cost me OVER $200 dollars and up. I would love to hear what some of your favorite frame lines are in this catagory and any specific models as well. I realize that discussing markup percentages really should not be on a public board, so I will include my email if anyone wants to email me.

Thanks all this would be a really big help,

Don

I love Via Spiga (wearing some right now :D )and the Dolce & Gabana's we have received lately are great quality as well.

Cazal, D&G, Fred's(although Logo is not greatest company to deal with), Versace, Coach is nice although they are not real high end.

Steph: Logo still exists?

Have you seen the Daniel Swarovski???? I like Cartier and Lunor as well. And pretty much anything OSA does (I can think of about 4 Chrome Hearts I would like to have right now)

Another one for Mr. Ryser's optical websites database (if it's not already there) at http://optochemicals.com/web_ratings.htm - he's sure to find this.

OptiBoard. Come for the optics, stay for the convo ...

I really like some of the "boutique" lines: Sama (www.samaeyewear.net) has 3 lines, attention to detail and stuff you don't see everywhere. Beausoleil - I love their colors, finishes and organic zyls (www.beausoleil.fr), and Gold and Wood (800-661-0041). They even have real diamonds if you like!

I've worked with the above 3 lines for the last 5 years, good quality stuff.
