Suddenly all the rage! Increased demand means higher prices - so those looking to save on these fashionable frames have begun turning to 'SarahPalinsGlasses.com' and eBay for the very best prices. (Note: Your local walk in dealers are also listed here, left column.)

 

Alaskan Governor's Trendy Frames a Hot Sell: The eyeglasses worn by Alaskan Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin are designed by award-winning Japanese industrial designer, Kazuo Kawasaki. Frames in this series start at $375 without the lenses – but the fashionable eyewear can run you $800 or more, depending on lens prescription and special coatings.

 

She's been in the nation's limelight for only a short time, but VP nominee, Sarah Palin, has quickly started an eyewear trend, creating a rush on the stylish, rimless, Kawasaki 704 frames at walk-in opticians from coast-to-coast. (Specifically, she wears the Kawasaki 704 frame series with customized lenses, color: 34 gray. They're constructed from lightweight titanium and mounted via a screwless, tension system; distributed in the United States by Italee.) Note that, while finding the same frames is a simple thing - matching the overall look will be a challenge: Her lenses (that is, their smart, rectangular shape) was custom made for the Alaskan governor. Naturally, should you purchase frames through eBay, you'll need to visit your nearby optician for the lenses.

 

Governor Palin purchased her glasses through upscale retailer 'Home Optics' in Chugiak Alaska. (Merchant info: 17668 Werre Street, Chugiak, AK 99567, 907-688-4979, see map) They actually came to her house for a fitting, reportedly allowing her to select from over 300 styles. Those of you unable to commute to Alaska may want to consider the convenience offered by our friends at eBay (and the postal service). Bottom line: Shop SarahPalin'sGlasses.com for the same glasses worn by the governor - without leaving home, burning gas or paying high middle man markups.
