New Shopping Tool FlashFrames.com Lets Consumers Get the Fashionable Frames They Want in Three Simple Steps

DALLAS, Sept. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- It's happened to everyone. You see a stranger sporting a stylish pair of sunglasses or eyeglasses on the street or on Instagram that you can't stop thinking about. You search endlessly, never finding exactly what you're looking for. Introducing FlashFrames.com by Essilor, the new shopping tool that will forever change the way you shop for eyewear, allowing you to get the fashionable frames you want with only a photo.

With three simple steps, shoppers can snap or upload a photo of frames they want, find options across price points from trusted online retailers and shop for the perfect pair to be sent for home delivery. It's the easiest way to spot the style of eyewear consumers want and get a pair of frames they love. 

"While inspiration around eyewear can come from anywhere – friends, Instagram, magazines, SnapChat, on the street, online – we saw there was no quick and easy way to find and buy the frames we wanted," said Francois Dumas-Lattaque and Vivien Pouget, the Essilor employees who invented the FlashFrames concept. "FlashFrames was designed to help shoppers find the eyewear they want at various price points, allowing them to feel stylish and confident."

The inspirational photo uploaded can come from anywhere – from a photo of a stranger with stylish shades on the street, to a paparazzi shot of a popular fashionista in her new shades. All it takes to find that fantasy pair of sunglasses is a photo.

Three easy steps allow shoppers to get frames they love:   

1. Snap & Upload: Shoppers can choose to either upload a photo they've taken to the website or save and upload a photo from anywhere on the web.
2. Find: FlashFrames searches its extensive database of styles and instantly finds same or similar frames at varying price points, offering the option to refine by price range – up to $70, $70-150 and over $150.
3. Shop: Shoppers select the authentic frames at the price point they want from a certified retailer and purchase for home delivery.
