Rewed Up Looks
Fendi and Maserati are driving off into the sunset this summer for a Whispered Grand Tour with a new sunglass style from Marchon. Blending luxury and sleek Italian engineering, the FS5262L is hand-crafted sunwear with supple genuine leather and fine metal. This lightweight frame is made in Italy, combining the fashion of Fendi with the sport and technology of Maserati cars. This style is available in gray with gunmetal metal temples and green lenses and yellow with gold metal temples and brown lenses. The yellow Fendi logo on the lens adds a pop of color to both of these aviators. The classic Maserati trident logo is featured on the temple tips in silver. The polarized lenses are made of mineral glass and feature an anti-glare coating, ensuring the best possible experience both on and off the road.
