As my ongoing quest to find the perfect pair of Acetate frames continues unabated, I present my latest, recently-purchased pairs of SALT Optics & Tom Davies frames that have proven unsuitable for me.
Like the previous pairs I've sold here, they're brand new apart from being tried on and are still fitted with the original plain demo lenses.
Simply take them to your optician or send them to an online glazing co. to have prescription lenses made and fitted.
Both SALT Optics & Tom Davies are independent eyewear companies, whose products are not to be confused with the 'designer frames/sunglasses' you find at most opticians, which are generally mass-produced by one of the giant optical multi-nationals with exorbitant prices attached because of the inclusion of a designer logo.
========================================
Both items ship from London, UK and would arrive in the UK the day after dispatch.
Shipping elsewhere would take around 7 working days.
Payment by PayPal please (Personal Gift payment or add 4% to total if not).
Extensive references available upon request, as well as all contact details.

SOLD
In excellent, unused condition although do note though that due to a) sitting on the optician's shelf and b) having a high-gloss finish, there may be a few signs of handling.
This is no more than any other pair of plastic frames purchased off-the-shelf and hence handled etc. would display, however I though it best to mention it.
In any case, if you even notice them, your optician will be able to polish the frames to a perfect finish within minutes.
