    Great Glasses

    Thhese are my 4th or 5th pair of Archive 3's- They look great, fit great, but honestly are kind of flimsy. They have very small screws that eventually come loose. but having said thaat, I keep buying them....

    round frames

    Attractive glasses with fabulous nose pieces which take most of eyeglass weight off the nose. I've been told many times the glasses are wonderful on me.

    Toddler broke em in one day

    Seemed nice while it lasted. My 2 y/o broke them inside 24 hrs She’s done it before, but I thought I’d get more life out of a higher priced pair with spring hinges. Guess not!

    Great style with a problem

    Over the last several years I have purchased six or seven pairs of the glasses. I love the style and quality is good except for one thing. They are assembled with two tiny bolts and nuts at the nose bridge and they always come loose and tightening these nuts was impossible, until I happened to purchase a pair of scissor style tweezers. With the tweezers I can tighten the nuts, but , they always work loose. Locktite or another super glue will help secure the nut, however, extreme care must be taken to prevent the glue coming in contact with the lens. I continue to purchase these glasses because of the style, but only when a discount is offered. Due to the nut and bolt assembly I feel these glasses are very overpriced.

    Second purchase

    I love the style they are my second pair & I get tons of compliments on them. Unfortunately, one of the nose pads broke after a couple of weeks of wear.
