Have you heard of Konishi eyewear? I have a pair actually... something about a Californian company outsourcing its manufacturing to the Japanese.
what can you tell me about eyeglasses in taipei? do you have any stores to recommend?
I have a question.
Hi CC, can you comment about Kio Yamato and Alain Mikli? Where can I get them cheap?
What is the best overall (quality, comfort, style, will give you the best chance of getting compliments from the ladies, etc) designer/brand of sunglasses for men?
City,
yeah, my konishi frames were 100 bucks, 200 for the lens. included a crizal alize coating... not thinking the coating was really worth it. it's been 1.5 years that i've had these glasses. i want something better at this point though.
Kio Yamato, very good quality at a reasonable price. Pound for pound probably one of the best quality and intricate designs with TONS of research behind it. They dont produce a frame until it is just right. At times, they will not release a certain style for 3 yrs, until they have it just right. They do not follow trends, but they have a classic/clean/sophisticated look. It is a relatively small company with loyal customers who love their products. They work only with acetate, titanium and the rare aluminum. The company is very flat in the sense that a sales rep can tell the head desisgner/president of the company how a frame should be changed from the feedback of customers or accounts, and changes will be made. It is not a big corporate company with level after level of managers and such.
thanks for the rec on kio.
