Love a Porsche? Can’t afford one? Here’s a great idea. Why not buy yourself a new pair of sunglasses? Porsche Design has presented a new set of their famed eye sunblockers that are meant to accentuate that masculinity we men all aspire to. Built beautifully since 1972, Porsche Design is not just for Porsche owners, thank goodness.

Believe it or not the “models” come in code: P’8454 which is a simple, sporty line. P’8456 feature titanium elements, making them extremely hard and durable. P’8457 and P’8458 are both made firmly of titanium but feature individual styling.

Porsche Design, while promising special glances for those who wear these sunglasses, can’t guarantee that buyers will be able to see passing traffic thorough the eyes of a Porsche driver. Ah well.

Porsche Design presents a new sunglasses collection, which is distinguished by its striking shapes and sporty lines. With its sporty, simple lines, model P’8454 has an especially dynamic effect. In the process, the discretely flowing design creates an interesting counterpoint to the masculine basic shape. Made of high-tech plastic and with high-quality titanium hinges, these sunglasses provide ideal protection for the eyes with their sporty curved front. By using these two materials, the sunglasses are very comfortable to wear, and the model can be used with correction lenses as well.

The nose-piece and lugs of model P'8456 are convincing due to the three-dimensional look resulting from the frontal titanium elements placed in the lenses. The sunglasses have a particularly high-quality effect due to the screw-free fastening of the lenses.

The two sunglasses models P’8457 and P’8458, which are both made of titanium, have a sporty and modern appearance. The reduced design of the sides means individual styling. They are attached in two pieces and taper down to a one-piece end piece. While model P‘8457 has a continuous nose-piece, model P’8458 has a slightly displaced and hence more decorative nose-piece.

Porsche Design is a global luxury men’s brand and is determined by engineered products. Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche established the Porsche Design brand in 1972, whose products are attracting consumers with their technical innovation and represent functionality and timelessness in its purest form. Porsche Design products are sold in own retail and franchise stores, shop-in-shops, up-market department stores and exclusive specialist stores.
