Versace Vanitas

A tribute to tradition and an unmistakable symbol of the Versace story, the Vanitas bow is the “element” that characterizes the collection: the arrival point for stylistic search, a synthesis of elegant design and sinuous graphics. An exquisite contemporary revamp of the relationship between shape and decorated surfaces. The bow pays tribute to the creativity, audacious genius and geometrical perfection of the ornamental motif created by Gianni Versace.

When It Comes to Eyewear, You Get What You Pay For

Remember, eye wear is not a turnkey product. Lenses are custom ordered for each patient. We choose the best frame for the customer’s face and their correction. We have to insert their lenses, adjust their frame and keep their eyewear fitting well. We must be qualified to present a perfect pair of eyewear to the wearer. There is a lot of value added service that goes into a pair of glasses – more than meets the “eye”.

We simply carry the best eye wear that our patients want. There is not such thing as cheap quality. Only the cheap is cheap.

Your eye wear is the first thing people notice about you – not your shoes or purse!

Fendi – The Double F Symbol

It has been used on a variety of Fendi products, including handbags, wallets, luggage, shoes, and apparel. AND Eye glasses and sun glasses FRAMES !!!

Essilor remains primary lens supplier to Luxottica

MILAN—Luxottica Group (NYSE: LUX) is using synergies from its November 2007 acquisition of Oakley to bring more of its sunwear lens production under its own umbrella, Andrea Guerra, Luxottica’s chief executive officer, revealed last week.

During a conference call with financial analysts, Guerra said that although Essilor remains its primary lens supplier, Luxottica is currently finalizing a new strategy to manufacture its own polarized lenses. At the same time, Oakley is now “in-sourcing” some sun lenses it had previously purchased from outside suppliers.

“We now manufacture almost 90 percent of our plano sun lenses, while in 2008 we bought about 30 percent of our needs,” Guerra said.

Meanwhile, last week Luxottica Optical Manufacturing announced plans to consolidate two lens manufacturing labs in Knoxville, Ky., effective April 4, with a resulting loss of 76 positions.

“The decision to consolidate the two facilities was based on careful evaluation of how to best serve customers while maximizing resources across the organization,” a Luxottica announcement said. “The company will provide support programs to help affected associates through this transition.”
