Have you ever wondered why glasses cost so much? When you buy glasses from a traditional brick-and-mortar retailer, you're not just paying for the frame and lenses; you're also paying big money to cover the retailer's hefty outsourcing costs, which usually include manufacturing, licensing fees, warehousing, and more.
Unlike those retailers, Basames has its own state-of-the-art production facility with advanced prescription and edging labs. We cut out the middlemen and pass huge savings on to you instead. And who doesn't like huge savings?
Frames are designed and manufactured by a 3rd party. Licensing fee paid to the brand owner.
Frames are designed and manufactured by Zenni in our own state-of-the-art facility, keeping costs down. Large volume contributes to low overhead which also saves money.
A wholesale distributor purchases from the manufacturer and resells to a retailer.
The retailer stocks and sells merchandise to customer in a physical store.
