Nowadays super elastic light weight plastic frame is very popular, they are very durable. I took a picture of it when they demonstrated to me.

yes, ultimately it is very durable and utilitarian, but lost of aesthetics compare to handmade frame.

There are some that sell Tom Ford Optical Lines. Optical 88 (Pyramid,KLCC), Opulance/Focus Point (Pyramid,Pavilion) carry it. But i am not sure they got that specific one u stated. I guess u can check it out yourself.

As for mine, the frame cost about RM1300. and the lenses cost about RM700. But, with help from my friend, i got crazy discount. Total up i need to pay only RM1000.  tongue.gif

Quality wise, Tom Ford is really top-notch in everything he did. Perfumes, Clothes, Sunglasses.

Can PM me your friend shop to get CRAZY discount? Thanks

The calling for homemade frame is just too strong and I've just manage to check out Marq optical. Wide range of selection on handmade frame but the lens price is pretty steep, 1.5 index cost around RM600 ++ for a normal Hoya. Worth to pull the trigger?

Which shop can get good price
for Kaneko, TVR and Yellow Plus?

I am aware of these 2 shops are selling, R*****ce Optical, I***** Lab,
not sure of any other shop, any sifu can enlighten?

Picking up a TVR Arnel later from I***** Lab, undoubtedly I am paying a premium, but Esther and her staff service is top notch. Multiple post purchase servicing for 2 years without paying an extra dime. BTW this is my second pair, together with my wife, a total 4 from them! I Lab is having trunk show for Kaneko now until Jan19, you can checkout some unusual Kaneko collection. I think they only showing small amount of TVR cuz of the trunk show. But I am sure they will get you a suitable pair based on your requirement.

Handmade frame is a rabbit hole too. chiahau

Ya I am aware of the "premium price" not to mention that price is not yet include the lens,

Easily 2k plus, but for me, it's worth it.
