Help finding a frame style...

**Coolkyd** · 03-08-2008, 04:29 PM

Hey guys I am new here and am having a hard time finding a particular frame style. I am looking for metal frames with no nosepads. I know Mitani used to have several styles (I own one myself that I love) but the comany that bought them out discontinued them. I am looking for pretty much any manufacturer, I have asked every frame rep that comes my way and even looked online and on ebay with no luck. I have had several patients ask about them and I would love to have some for myself as well. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the last one we had in the shop as ordered about 2 years ago, we still have it, forget the name of it, but it was a discontinued laura ashley frame by signature. At the time they had gobs left, it was around a 46 eye oval in tortoise with antique gold trim. Good luck finding one, polo used to have a few years ago.

When I was with Encore Vision, Inc., we did a manufacturing for American Optical of their Varsity Collection. www.aoeyewear.com.

Good Luck

Modo has a few, both rectangular and round. I have both in my office.

2 frames comes to mind:
Minado D885 Flex

and Minado D886 Flex

Centennial Optical carries this line in Canada.

Or if you want high-end you could contact Lunor, all their frames have these types of bridges. I believe they are gold plated, which makes them much higher priced, but also unique.

Hope this helps!

The saddle bridge is back. We now have 5-6 styles on our board. It was hard as hell to find one a year ago. Check out this thread.
