I remember hearing that the co-creators of IC berlin left to set up Mykita and subsequently made improvements to the original designs. Hence, some have said that mykita is a better overall product with a more refine hinge. But that was all a few years ago. What is the current position? Who makes a more superior product now? Are there any other brands along this line that may be far superior?
Quick Q
Where can I find a pair of the black louis vuitton faux semblant?
From what I've gathered the Luxottica group owns or makes frames for: Anne Klein
Finally, Lindberg's conservative approach to their overall aesthetics is, in my opinion, more consistent in producing a decent look when worn.
I just had a pair of Lindberg eyeglasses made, and they are pretty amazing. No screws whatsoever, all titanium, and very interesting design (especially the hinges). Plus, you can mix and match the frames and temples as all of the hinges are the same. The pair I got are fairly round and a classic shape, in polished titanium, which looks like polished nickel or dull silver.
I just did some further research and found that these days, Lindbergs are now made in Philippines. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I find it reeks of industrial hypocrisy that a company moves operations to a cheaper location yet continues to charge "EU made" prices.
The assembly and finishing is where the quality is 'added'.

I can't find confirmation of that.
I might be missing something, but the later frames I've seen instore no longer states Made in Denmark. I've also been told that the only thing accomplished in Denmark is the design and prototyping. Finishing and assembly, is all done in their factories in Philippines.
