Also looked at Polaroid, and while I get what they're trying to do, it just seemed to flimsy to be able to service. Had to pass.

Just had someone bring in Polaroids from elsewhere for adjustment. No metal in the temples so I explained it won't hold, but did my best. Wouldn't recommend from the one I saw. Hinges where all plastic as well- with the screw facing down! *sighOriginally Posted by drk
Have I told you today how much I hate poly?
How do we like the shipping information on Luxottica website in Italian? I know it has a translate option, but the dates are backwards.

LOL I noticed this the other day! The dates make NO sense, even once translated. Mine told me the order wasn't going to be placed until June and not received until July though it was delivered the other day. It wasn't a formatting issue because the dates were for the end of the month... unless that have a 30th month in Italy I don't know about.

They go by day/month, not month/day!

As a senior photographer and a parent to teens and 20 somethings, I see trends daily and I was not shocked to see Tommy and other 90s brand staples, like Champion, come back! A tiny bit dismayed at first bc those brands have been uncool for quite awhile, but I love seeing a new generation take an older trend and make it their own! One of our reps is even carrying a new line of Members Only drill mounts. Crazy! I'm just waiting for that god-awful giant 80s zyl to come back. But they'll shine it up and make it "new" for the generation that hasn't seen it in person yet and I love that!
Ok, took a look at VSPMarchon's venerable Flexon collection.
Styles: very deep. Has a mix of traditional men's and jazzier men's. Women's styles will burn your retinas, though. Kids' styles: meh. Clips to be re-designed, soon.
Prices: $$$$$$. Too $$$$$ IMHO, but that's Marchon. There is a mix if you want the basics, though, which is good.
Recommendation: I still buy. I'm keeping it around because of
a. brand recognition/loyalty
b. depth of styles
c. a differentiated product that somewhat justifies its price tag
Nota bene:
The sales rep was ga ga about Converse and said she's opened a lot of accounts. It's young, silly, colorful, and inexpensive.
I looked at the catalogue but it didn't grab me.
What's the latest on Europa and Scott Harris?
They have State. A well made line, but not cheap.
I bend light. That is what I do.
Japan titanium...very nice...
I will say that all of Europa's collections look very similar to me.
It's been years since I've seen a frame line that even remotely turned my head sadly. Seems the "build it like rubbish and jack the price WAAAAY up!" ala Lux et all is the rule of the day. Broadly, ridiculous fitting frames, cheapest possible materials, frame fits that don't even seem to be loosely based on human facial anatomy, lack of adjustability etc etc seems to be the corporate frame rules to live by. There are the odd independent makers sure, but then you're commonly dealing with stock availability issues, poor communication, or just a smaller overall collection. I miss the days of better frame options!
