    Ferraristore now makes sunglasses designed and named after my beloved F355...must mean the F355 is turning into a real "classic". These are supposed to be truly manufactured in Italy, as well.

    Ferrari 355 GTS Sunglasses in Perforated Black leather - Ferrari Store

    Note the perforations in the leather that mimic the perforations in the F355 steering wheel.

    I like those. I have a couple of Ferrari hats that I like to wear when I drive with the windows down and some of them interfere with my glasses. These look nice and rounded on the upper corners which would work but I would have to get over the aviator type shape. I was never a fan of this shape.

    I wear these normally in my car. Perfect amount of tint for a coupe and very comfortable.

    Pretty but I hear maintenance is a killer. Need to drop the lenses for everything you do :)

    Hello everyone. I bought a pair of FR 0070 in London a couple of years ago, at the Ferrari store. The best sunglasses i ever have had. However, one of the nose pads fell and I am having a hell of a time finding a spare part, either the pad(s) or the bridge supporting them.

    I have visited a couple of Ferrari stores (Aventura in Florida and Las Vegas) but they do not have parts and don't seem to have an answer. As for the online support, let's not even go there. They don't care and the girl answering (shannon) tells me I have to contact the store where I bought the glasses because they (Ferrari customer service USA) have no responsibility for these sunglasses (!). Happens to be the store in question no longer exists, and she doesn't even seem to know (or doesn't care to). After some research, it seems Marcolin did those glasses, and I have contacted them but they inform me they don't have any spare parts left from the Ferrari line (where have they all gone?).

    The several opticians I have gone to tell me they cannot help me because the glasses are too specific...

    In short, no parts at the original maker, too specific for regular opticians, and Ferrari USA doesn't give a toss, and doesn't help or want to share info for a simple problem. Complete let down, but does anyone here have a suggestion? I live in the southeast us but am more than willing to buy the part wherever and fix the problem myself.

    Thanks for any info you might have to help me.

    Serengeti Firenze, best driving sunglasses ever made. Perfect glass lenses, driver-oriented polarization, ideal tint, and slim temples that don't block peripheral vision. Once you drive with them you won't want anything else. A little heavier than something like Maui Jim, but so much better.
