help finding peculiar eyeglasses

[grady]

a couple years back i saw a pair of drilled rimless glasses who's earpieces/rest of the frame made of this flexible plastic or rubber material.. no metal other than the screws into the lenses.

does these ring a bell to anyone? is there a name for the style? my guccis just arent "doing it" for me anymore and i am dying to find these glasses again.

also if it doesnt ring a bell but you have seen some other nifty frames, please don't hesitate to give me a link

thanks

I don't care for rimless look of few years ago, but their newest Rainbow collection is alright. We have it.

ps. Thanks d_d!

i am not sure about the rubber, but i once owned a pair of rimless glasses from Alain Mikli (I think that is spelled right). I would've kept them but putting in the right lenses would've costed more than $200 for the drilling. I may get a replacement pair though as my cash flow is better now than it was a couple of years ago. Seach for them on ebay or google. good luck.

Btw, same flexibility and comfort can be found in MYKITA frames. Much sturdier, less maintenance and less expensive to do lenses since there is no drilling costs involved.
