Studio Ghibli may or may not be in the business of making movies anymore, but it is now firmly in the business of making replica sunglasses for its 22-year-old movie about a WWI fighter ace who’s also a pig. Ghibli has teamed up with a Japanese sunglasses manufacturer for two pairs of official Porco Rosso sunglasses, based on the 1992 movie of the same name. They come in two styles: the $480 “Period Piece Model”—which, as the name suggests, is made using period-appropriate material—and the “Standard Model,” which is made of plastic. Purchasing either of them will definitely make you look like a cartoon pig fighter pilot, for whatever reason you might have to want that.
