The duo is back at it, with the Bugatti Collection Two, which just debuted at Silmo 2023 in Paris, which is like [SEMA]() but for sunglasses. “Our first collection was really just the beginning. With twice as many styles, Bugatti Eyewear Collection Two really has something for everyone," said Sands. Of course, by everyone, he means "everyone that can afford a $2,000 pair of sunglasses." ![]() **Bugatti** ![]() **Bugatti** ![]() **Bugatti** As ridiculous as it might sound for a pair of sunglasses costs about as much as I paid for my entire 2005 Audi A4 Ultrasport a few years ago, these Bugatti/Sands sunglasses are made from materials that I wished my Audi had. Here are some of the materials Bugatti used in the making of these sunglasses: carbon fiber (because of course), Macassar ebony wood with mother-of-pearl inlays, grade 5 titanium, and 18k gold with black palladium accents. Some of them are pretty cool looking, too, in a charming arms dealer sort of way. Particularly the pair with the drop-down shades. I can see a stylish side villain in the next Mission Impossible flick donning those when they tell Ethan Hunt about some dangerous MacGuffin he needs to obtain. "Get the unobtanium for me and I'll give you the bad guy's whereabouts \*shade drop\*." Something like that. ![]() **Bugatti** ![]() **Bugatti** ![]() **Bugatti** Did you expect anything less from Bugatti, though? As easy as it is to roll our eyes at how out-of-touch brands like Bugatti seem when they roll out obnoxiously priced hypercars, the engineering and quality behind them are still absurdly impressive. A [Bugatti Chiron i]()s a marvel of modern engineering and one of the most astonishing vehicles in the history of the automobile. So I actually appreciate the brand using exotic materials for its sunglasses because, let's be real, even if Bugatti slapped its emblem on a $100 pair of plastic sunglasses, its customers would still pay $2,000. At least the price tag is commensurate with the materials. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
