    New trends in frames? *consumer post*

    First off I would like to apologize for the vain thread. I have searched and I have noticed many of the professionals on this site have reccomended product lines to each other and I hope you can do the same for me.

    I was shopping around for new frames today. My current frames are three years old and no longer asthetically please me. I came across the Modo 931 ( http://modo.com/pages/_Modo/01-Titanium/0931.htm ) Titanium frames, and I really dig the style, but not the color choices. I would honestly prefer it in a black.

    Could I be reccomended another product line, but retain the same size and curves? I'm not familiar with designer brand eyeware, and most of you deal with it daily.


    EDIT: I'm also fond of the Modo 929, but again the colors aren't very pleasing http://modo.com/pages/_Modo/01-Titanium/0929.htm

    try this company:

    under collections, go to bada, then look for the BL 2500 - shows in plum but maybe it comes in blk.

    Anyway, Bada and Okio (same company) have alot of frames that look like the Modo one.

    Thank you for the link. I really like a lot of the styles on there. I have to find an optician that carries them in my area.

    If anyone else can offer some good links to designers I would really appreciate it. Thanks to the likes to lenscrafters and the bigger names google hasn't been serving me so well.

    I seem to recall someone on this board that was powder coating frames. This coulc be a custom option for you if you like a certain frame but in a color that is not commonly available.
