Hello everyone...

I think this is the best NAM forum to post my question (feel free to redirect me):

I am on a quest to obtain MINI branded prescription eyewear by Derigo.



I first saw them at

https://shop.bmwgroup.com/is-bin/INT...egoryName=MINI

(If this link doesn't take you right to it, click on "NEW Optical Eyewear". Many messages to the email address shown have produced no results.

I've only found ONE website that lists them
( http://www.giarre.com/glasses/mini-eyeglasses-line.php )
however they show them as OUT OF STOCK.

If anyone can help me locate wear I can buy these frames, (US, abroad, used or otherwise), I will be indebted to you for years to come. Which doesn't really mean anything but I'll remember you when people say "hey where the heck did you find those?!"

Thanks for any assistance,

This was the reply I received when I requested info on the optical eyewear:

"Dear Ms Fitzgerald,

Thank you very much for your email and your interest in our optical MINI eyewear.

We regret to inform you that, we don't have a listed optometrist who offers the optical glasses in the U.S.

But the producer of this glasses is the company De Rigo.

Their contact details are:

info@derigo.com

Maybe an optician next to you can order your favored modell of this firm for you.

We hope that we could help you with this information and thank you very much for your understanding.

Ms Fitzgerald, if you have any additional questions, please contact us
via email or under the following Hotline: +800-64 64-22 50
Our opening hours are: Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. (CET).

Hopefully that helps!

btw, MINIShop is one of my favorite places to find cool MINI stuff! The watches and bags/purses in particular are a weakness...
