Vintage Porsche Design by Carrera 5628 90 Folding Shield Sunglasses
Made in Austria
DEADSTOCK / Unworn / All Original
With Original Porsche Design Folding Case
A true piece of late-1970s / early-1980s luxury futurism.
The Porsche Design 5628 represents everything that made the Austrian-made Carrera era legendary: ultra-lightweight engineering, architectural minimalism, and unmistakable Euro-luxury styling. Designed during the golden age of Porsche Design, this folding shield aviator embodies the same jet-set aesthetic associated with films like Scarface and American Gigolo — the era of yachts, Formula 1 paddocks, exotic cars, and understated excess.
While collectors often reference the 5622 as the “Scarface” Porsche Design model, the 5628 lives in that exact same world stylistically — and in many ways feels even more refined and futuristic.
The oversized floating shield construction, exposed rimless lower lens section, ultra-thin temples, and precision folding mechanism make this feel less like eyewear and more like an industrial design object.
And the folding system is a huge part of what made these iconic.
The frame collapses into an incredibly compact form, engineered for luxury travel and performance-oriented lifestyles. These folding Porsche Design models became cult classics because they merged:
- luxury
- engineering
- automotive-inspired design
- portability
- wearable futurism
Most surviving examples were heavily worn.
Finding a truly unworn, all-original Austrian-made example with the original case has become increasingly difficult.
This pair presents beautifully with:
- crisp branding
- exceptionally clean frame finish
- original Porsche Design gradient lenses
- healthy nose pads
- sharp folding action
- original Porsche Design zip case
The bronze/tobacco gradient lenses are especially strong and perfectly period-correct for the era.
