How are etnia frames ?

[mdeimler]

A very influential patient stated the we should carry etnia frames.
He brought us a pair to put lenses into and thinks we should carry them.
What is your opinion on the line, pros and cons ? Thanks.

I have had similar suggestions for Cartier, etc. But I figured that I wouldn't sell one often enough to pay for the interest on the loan on the inventory.

So...40+ buy-in ?

We placed them in our dispensary the end of March. They are nice and are selling. Buy in I think is 18-20 pieces. They are selective in the number of accounts that may have them.

Thanks Bev. That's the kind of serious answer for which I was looking.

We are looking into carrying them as well once our inventory is down from expo, the only problem was the 24 piece buy in *sharp intake of breath* and the fact that that buy in could NOT include kids stuff, which would be at a separate buy in. *faint* but it IS really cool and fun stuff.

We love them. Carried them for about 5 years. Each style is available in 9 different colours/patterns. Quality of manufacture is fantastic.

My apologies. I misread who the site is and will delete the post.

Hello from Germany. Etnia is one of our best selling brands. We carry them since 1997 and we are all big Etnia fans. The management is a little bit chaotic, but thats ok because the design is fantastic. The new rimless frames are really great looking and they'll get sunglasses too in the next few month.
May I ask what you have to pay for Etnia frames in the US? You can pm me. This information should not be discussed in public.
