OPTICIANS
& OPTOMETRISTS EST. 1910
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: FRANCIS KLEIN
What do you get when you
combine thirty years of design experience and the drive to become the world's
most unique eyewear designer?
Enter
the Kleins of no. 30, rue Bonaparte in Paris France. Easily one of the most
innovative designers out there today. Francis and his wife spend their time
dreaming up ever new and unique frames for sale around the world. Using the
highest quality plastics coupled with their one of a kind designs and hand placed
stone work make each one of these frames a work of art.
The
Kleins came to our attention back in 1998 when a friend of the family introduced
us at a optical trade show in Paris. We were quick to adopt this line into our
regular stock and have been ordering them ever since. These frames catch the
eye of anyone who stops to notice their ornate quality. Almost as if they belong
under glass or in a picture frame on the wall the delicate beauty of these frames
belies their strudy construction. The frames carry designs and stone work that
hint of an older asthetic; yet with materials and techniques completely modern,
these frames have become a timeless classic.
This
line tends to sell out fast so come to our downtown location (800 SW Alder St.)
and take a peek for yourself.
