IC! Berlin has been on my “I want this, but I shouldn’t spend so much, but they are so awesome, but they’re too expensive, but I really really want them” list for a few years. They are indestructible - made out of sheet metal. The hinges are made by folds and cuts in the metal - meaning there are no screws and delicate hinge-parts that can be smashed easily. Started by of course - German design students, who ended up splitting, which left IC! Berlin still around, and a new company with the same concept (just different hinges) called Mykita. For the base price range being around US $385, I think they are worth it, but still a big chunk out of the pocket. Suiting if your like me: you always break your glasses, but not if your one who often looses them! Both have some great webistes also:
