A traveler of the time streams is someone who moves about the multiverse.
The multiverse (or meta-universe, metaverse) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including our universe) that together comprise everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. The term was coined in 1895 by the American philosopher and psychologist William James. The different universes within the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes.
Overdone.
Last week I had a brief phone interview with a potential supplier. The contact came about through my current boss who highly recommended I add said supplier’s frame line to the collections I sell.
The frame line is quite beautiful, looks to be very well made and should be quite sellable. It’s also designed and made by hand entirely in the US. Unheard of these days for a frame line.
The owner/designer/creator of the line was, to be a quite a honest, a bit condescending in his approach to me. He sounded put off by the fact that I work for a French company selling frame lines that have a very European aesthetic. He made it clear several times that his product captured an American aesthetic.
I’m not sure it was his ignorance of the product I sell or him just being…well I don’t know what he was trying to do. The product I sell is also designed and made by hand; in France. The customer looking to sell my product, is similar to the one that would sell his; especially for the price.
The difference being, the French lines are colorful and have different textures and finishes to them. His line follows the current, and seemingly undying trend, of American geek-chic; thick, square-shaped, “retro” looking frames. A trend that has become so over done that you can no longer tell the difference between the crap that Ray-ban has become to a true, hand-made piece of craftsmanship, because everyone and their grandmother is wearing this now.
The saddest part of the conversation was the fact that it felt as though he just wouldn’t listen or understand that I knew where he was coming from with his ideas and designs. Trust me dude, I get it. Not only do I get it, but I respect it. Now get over yourself and let me sell your product.
