  I have these pair of polarised lens which I like very much. Unfortunately, the frame is not lasting so I am not considering to get a replacement set.
  
  Instead, I was wondering if there is any shop out there which can get made frame with your choice of lens?

  hmm did u know lenses are huge circles at the start and they get cut to fit the frame? so virtually every frame can accomodate your lens,assuming it is still in its uncut form.

  i'm assuming the polarised lenses are prescription ones
  usually would advise you go back to same frame unless like you said not very lasting.
  
  most optical shops would be happy to help you fit the lenses into a new frame if you're buying the frame from them. but remember, when cutting the lenses, its at your own risk if the lens cracks so you'll have to remind the staff you like your lenses very much and let them know you're a very f**ked up customer if things don't go well
  
  try to find a frame with the same shape and size so the you won't have to cut too much off the current shape
  
  cheers
