What’s the best sunglass brand to bifl? I’m not even sure if there’s any with a very durable design
I destroy everything I own and have never had issues with made in italy/japan luxottica or kering. If you have big budget look at Matsuda

Best glasses frame brand
Jacques Marie Mage makes the best looking and most durable frames on the market. They are a bit on the heavy side, as most of them are thick acetate with 18k gold rims on the inside. Typically 800-1200 per piece. I have 3 pairs and they are my favorite brand. I collect sunglasses, so I consider myself something of an expert, and here are the other brands I love: Matsuda(unmatched quality and durability), Thom Browne, Persol, Barton Perreira, Oliver Peoples, Moscot(like a cheaper Jacques Marie Mage), Masahiro Maruyama(very artsy but beautiful), Balmain, Dior(the last two have surprisingly great frames) Get a pair of JMMs, stomach the $900 expense, and you’ll never own a better piece of eyewear

Any suggestions for high-quality polarized sunglasses that don’t have a huge markup just because of the brand?
Costco is the best bang for your buck for the affordable tier. Randolph Engineering is good. I get Matsuda frames and put prescription lenses in them as sunglasses at my optometrist’s.
