If you are tired of replacing your glasses because they got bent in your bag or sat on by accident, Vantoure has engineered a virtually indestructible alternative. Launching on Kickstarter, the Vantoure Vera is a line of memory titanium glasses designed to withstand extreme bending while remaining incredibly lightweight. By combining aerospace grade materials with a screw free design, it offers a pair of everyday frames that you never have to worry about breaking.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator Vantoure Vera Memory Titanium Glasses That Bounce Back by Vantoure.
What It Is The Vantoure Vera is a hyper durable, feather light eyeglass frame made from advanced memory titanium. It features a flexible half rim design that can bend up to 180 degrees and instantly bounce back to its original shape without warping.
KEY FEATURES
180 Degree Flex Recovery The frames are constructed from Yamauchi Matex beta 153 memory titanium. This allows the glasses to flex wide and endure accidental twists or crushes without permanent distortion.
Ultra Lightweight Build Weighing just 4.87 grams, which is lighter than a standard sheet of paper, the floating half rim architecture prioritizes all day wearing comfort and reduces fatigue across the nose and temples.
Screwless Interlocking Hinge The hinge mechanism locks together through its physical structure alone. There are no tiny screws to loosen, strip, or fall out over time, making maintenance virtually nonexistent.
Tough Nylon Wire Retention The lenses are secured using imported Japanese ultra tough nylon wire that resists stretching and keeps the lenses firmly in place under daily stress.
Pre Adjusted Fit Before the glasses ship, the team customizes the frame and nose pads based on your provided fitting information so they arrive perfectly shaped to your face.
Three Frame Styles The collection includes three distinct geometric shapes named Orion, Thalassa, and Vortex, ensuring a style that fits your personal aesthetic.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing Early backers can secure the Vantoure Vera frames at a discounted price of around 99 dollars, which is a significant drop from the planned 176 dollar retail cost.
Options Supporters can upgrade their pledges to include various high toughness lenses, including prescription, progressive, photochromic, and blue light blocking options.
Delivery The Kickstarter campaign is currently active and the team expects to begin global shipping to early backers in September 2026.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Unbreakable Comfort. The creators at Vantoure believe that everyday prescription glasses should not be fragile liabilities. By utilizing advanced memory metal and stripping away traditional failure points like screws, they aim to deliver a reliable accessory that easily survives the physical demands of daily life.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the common frustrations of standard eyewear, specifically the tendency for frames to stretch, lose screws, and permanently warp from minor accidents. The engineering team wanted to bring the extreme flexibility of aerospace grade titanium into the consumer market. They focused on building a minimalist, rugged frame that feels weightless on the face but performs like heavy duty hardware when tested by toddlers, tight bags, or accidental drops.
