We've all been there—traveling in a foreign city enjoying the sights, but having to pull out the paper map or Google Maps to re-orient. Not only is the action embarrassing and a tell-tale sign that you're a tourist, but it increases the risk that you'll become the victim of petty crime.
Fear not, for the folks at Design Hype have created metal cuffs embossed with public transport maps of a handful of cities. Now, when jumping from Uptown to Downtown Manhattan, you merely need glance at your wrist to determine if the A, C or E train is the one to hop on for your desired destination.
These stainless steel cuffs are not only fashionable, but functional when wandering the subways of New York (Manhattan and Brooklyn), London, Chicago, Paris, Milan and Berlin. Depending on the metropolis, you can choose the sheen of the metal and the color of the map.
At a price tag of $37 each from their website, the pieces of jewelery aren't the most affordable maps, but they are cool and a great way to ensure you don't get lost on your next trip. Or, for style purposes, use them to simply show your allegiance to your favorite city.
If the cuffs aren't your style, the design minds have also created some cool monument rings and necklaces that blur the line between wearable art and architecture.
