Sunski
The Bernina is Sunski’s flagship premium style that breaks the bar for what’s possible in sunglasses design. When we set out to create the Bernina, our challenge was to create an elevated style with no compromise on comfort and performance. How your sunglasses look is just as important as how good you feel in them, and the Bernina nails both.
A flared resin keyhole eliminates discomfort from metal nose pads, and the perforated sun shields offer serious side glare protection while maintaining a flat profile. The body is built from lightweight recycled plastic resin, the arms are milled from SAE 304 stainless steel and the lenses feature polarized CR39 for high visual acuity and abrasion resistance. Subtle details complement the look, with hints of vintage aviation and racing in the details: the stamped linear grooves along the temples evoke the lines of a vintage Alfa, and the perforated sidewings are inspired by rivet patterns of a Spitfire plane.
But talk is cheap. Put them on, and how do you feel? Like a first class ticket to Italy. Like riding the afternoon train through Bernina pass in Switzerland. A guttural classic car winding the sparkling Amalfi coast. Life’s goods moments are quick to pass; but they’ll last a little longer in the shade of the Bernina.
