EYES on The Return of a Legend… (of the Porsche variety)

Buckle up, sunglasses lovers — because something very stylish has just cruised into St Albans. And we mean that literally. Porsche Design sunglasses have relaunched, and the only place in town you can get your hands (or rather, your face) on them is… you guessed it… EYES on St Albans.

Yes, the same Porsche that makes the iconic cars has been quietly crafting equally iconic eyewear since the ‘70s. Think precision engineering, high-end design, and that kind of understated cool that says, “I probably own a yacht (even in landlocked Hertfordshire), but I’m too classy to mention it.”

And now? They’re back — reimagined, reengineered, and ready to grace the good people of St Albans. Or at least, the ones savvy enough to pop into the home of spex, hugs and rock & roll.

Engineering meets eye candy (and we’re not talking Jez’s moped)

The new collection is everything you’d expect from the Porsche name: lightweight titanium frames, smartly interchangeable lenses, aerodynamic lines (yes, even on sunglasses), and enough style points to win you a podium finish in the fashion Grand Prix.

Take the legendary P’8478 model — the world’s first sunglasses with an interchangeable lens system. In normal human terms? It means you can swap out the lenses depending on the light conditions, your mood, or even your outfit. Fancy a moody grey lens for strolling through the city? Or a coppery bronze one for drinks in the sunshine? Done. It’s like having multiple pairs of sunglasses in one… very snazzy… package.

Orlando Bloom’s in on it too (and one day we’re sure he’ll pop in for a new pair…)

Not that we like to name drop (okay, we totally do), but actor and general all-round heartthrob Orlando Bloom is the new face of the 2025 Porsche Design campaign. We’re not saying the glasses will make you look like him… but we’re not not saying it either. 

St Albans exclusive? That’s what we do.

We don’t do high street – so it’s safe to say that EYES on St Albans is the only stockist in the city offering the relaunched Porsche Design sunglasses. That means you won’t find them in the high street chains, on the market stalls, or lurking behind the counter of the newsagent. Just us. Because we’re fancy like that.

And if you’re wondering whether they’re right for you? Pop in. We’ll help you try them on, talk you through the collection, and let you experience the joy of sunglasses that feel like a Porsche — even if your actual car is more of a Ford Fiesta vibe.
