GERMANY. Porsche Design Eyewear has launched a new, fashionable range of sunglasses with technical functionality and UV protection.
Porsche Design model P’8422 is said to owe its stability and wear comfort to titanium, a material frequently used for Porsche Design products. An innovative attachment system permits easy replacement of the lens of the eye-catching sunglasses, according to the German company.

The colour range available for the sporty P’8422 extends from brown and light gold matt to titanium matt and antique blue matt, all with the lens colour to match. The model is available worldwide in specialist shops and selected Porsche Design Stores.
The company said the P’8440 model is based on what it brands the “exclusive glasses” of 1978, which have become a Porsche Design classic. The styling of both the lens attachment system and the bridge are designed to emulate the original, while the straight lines and interchangeable shield ensure a modern appearance, it added.
