    HELP I'm Looking for a brand close to what the old GA frames looked like.

    We just expanded our office, and I am looking for a new brand to bring in. We carried GA before the 300LB Gorilla bought it then lowered the quality, and made it look like every other frame they produce. Safilo was ok... not great, but better than what GA is now at least to me.Especially at the price they are selling them for. I wouldn't mind a smaller brand or company as long the quality is good and its the style I am looking for. Conservative styling this neutral colors but nothing too boring or generic.

    Appreciate the help.

    2nd time posting a link to this company today. Distributed by Fusion. They're a great minimal counterpart to virtually everything else we carry. Linked to this page specifically if you're looking for what I remember GA to be about

    Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I can't see how to get them in the UK, but that's a nice, and interesting, collection.

    Odd. I checked out OperaOpera listed under the UK. What an amazing shop. Probably picked them up at a show but also strange because they seem completely focused on making frames in house there.

    and I got a kick out of this http://www.operaopera.net/page28.htm
