    Idea budget frame ideas

    Just looking for a couple of suggestions for some of the budget lines. We are a moderate to highend optical carrying lines like fendi , pucci, prada, yurman, varvados etc.... But with the economy , we feel like we need to offer a "budget package deal" . So with that being said we are looking for frames that we can get in the budget $-$$price range , that sell in frame facts for a bit more. And are fairly cute.
    We currently have vivid, blink, and a few new globes. Anyways we need to change it up because these have begun not selling. Thanks all

    Do yourself a favor and call the folks at Ideal. We sell their frames by the fist full. The quality on the Casino line is much better than the New Globe stuff.

    I use the Parade frames from Avalon and make a point of just having the current ones for warranty issues.

    I sell them for $99 complete, single vision frame and lens, upgrades available.

    Also use them as the free pair for buyone getone.
