Bugatti Eyewear by Legendary Designer Larry D Sands
World’s most powerful and luxurious auto manufacturer Bugatti appoints Larry D Sands as official designer for BUGATTI Eyewear.
Optical legend, createur Larry D. Sands is no stranger to hyper luxury. With a legacy spanning over 60 years of incredibly successful eyewear brands— ®Chrome Hearts, ®Matsuda, ®Kieselstein-Cord, ®Shamballa Eyewear, ®Paradis Collection, and the ®Optical Shop of Aspen dynasty.
This industry vanguard shows absolutely no signs of slowing down, and at 84 years of age, his refusal to boundaries and desire to create is stronger than ever. “When I got the call from BUGATTI, I was a little surprised, but to be approached by the world’s most powerful and luxurious auto manufacturer, to create their eyewear, was an honor.”
For over 110 years, BUGATTI has been at the pinnacle of the automotive industry, creating the most exclusive next-generation hyper sports cars. Following Ettore Bugatti’s motto: “If comparable, it is no longer BUGATTI”, the nine piece debut collection is just that— incomparable, capturing the rich essence of BUGATTI automobiles in a wearable form.
PREMIUM MATERIALS
Each piece of BUGATTI Eyewear is meticulously crafted in Japan, from .925 Sterling Silver and finished with genuine 18k gold and palladium coatings; the most expensive materials in the world. The use of real carbon fiber and Macassar ebony wood is another impeccable design iteration that is unique to the collection and pays homage to BUGATTI’s incredible automobiles. No detail is overlooked, with components rendered in Grade 5 Japanese titanium— the highest available, used for aerospace and known to withstand temperatures up to 600° F.
PVD COATINGS
Positive Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a process in which a solid material is vaporized in a vacuum and deposited onto the surface of the product– a key breakthrough for the eyewear industry and is also used in the development and production of BUGATTI automobiles. The PVD acts as a Diamond Like Coating, creating a surface that is highly resistant to wear and guaranteed for the lifetime of the product.
ZEISS LENSES
BUGATTI Eyewear doesn’t compromise with vision, which is why ZEISS® lenses are used in every frame— providing optimal vision clarity from the lens center to the periphery, in a lens that is flatter, thinner, and more attractive than standard lenses. The leader in lens technology, ®ZEISS coatings offer scratch resistance, anti-reflective properties, and a surface that is more dirt resistant and easy to clean.
