Would you buy these Maybach sunglasses?

I always say that if you buy any auto-related merchandise, you should first own the car. But a few items pop up on and off that tempt me to buy them.

Now I am a sucker for the finer things in life and anything bright, shiny, and luxurious. With summer around the corner, these sunglasses from Mercedes-Benz and their partner MAYBACH Icons of Luxury are tempting me.

Known as THE CREATOR, these sunglasses combine ultra-light titanium and sustainably sourced natural horn uniquely: the technical filigree metal, additionally refined with 22-carat gold, rose gold, or platinum plating, meets the horn of traditionally reared Asian water buffalo. Warm, elegant and in their natural colour structures. These sunglasses express a new method that combines style, innovation and sustainability.

More than two hundred steps are required to produce a single pair of these exclusive sunglasses, and they are handcrafted.

Mercedes-Maybach enthusiasts will recognise similarities to the Maybach logo in the shape of THE CREATOR. The design is inspired by actual Maybach cars.

THE CREATOR sunglasses are available in a range of colour combinations and materials. Ten different versions can be bought from a retailer close to you. Some are limited edition, so you better make a bee-line for the nearest Maybach retailer.
