Affordable sunglasses? (lemm.ee)

I break and drop and lose sunglasses constantly, I have to buy 3 or 4 new pairs a year so I'm not interested in buying anything expensive. Until recently I bought some Chinese 5 euro crap but I would prefer to buy 10-15 euro EU made crap. Is there anything like that available?

Have you tried analyze why you break so many? Maybe there is something you could do that would be even cheaper than buy cheap sunglasses?

I break them in whatever fashion you can imagine because I forget I have them with me and sit on them, i throw them in my backpack and then smash them with 6 pack of milk, I put them in a pocket with keys and they scratch. Most of the time I just leave them somewhere because I forget about them. Idk what could be cheaper than buying them cheap.

Maybe get a glass case? I have one (two) in my messenger bag, never broke my reading nor my sunglasses, no matter how badly I treat my poor bag ;)

There are hard case and soft ones, depending your usage.

I used to do the same when I bought cheap sunnies. I went on a whim and purchased a designer pair, and have had them 10 years now. If something has more cost, you tend to take care of it more. At least I do.

Tried that. 150e sunglasses were great until I lost them somewhere a month or two later :) I'm more of a bog monster rather than fashion concious guy, my mind doesn't like keeping the data on accessories. When it stops raining i put an umbrella anywhere and forget about its existence, the same with sunglasses when a cloud covers the sun for 5 minutes.

Sounds like a professional sunglasses thrower to me
