On prices
Two honest questions.
Why does it cost more than a designer frame?
Often it does not. A high end branded frame sits between €300 and €500, and is mass produced for an average face.
Here you pay for hours of work on a single piece, and no licence.
Can the quote change?
No, unless you change something. If a problem comes up during the making, it is our problem.
