Building upon the success of its debut in 2023, Fred reveals the latest iteration of its Force 10 capsule collection, drawing inspiration from the colours of the French Open, also known as the Roland-Garros tournament. The iconic Sunshine Jeweller’s bracelet returns with fresh interpretations infused with Parisian flair and the enduring spirit of the competition. In this release, Fred introduces two new buckles to grace the courts. The first showcases 18 Ceylon blue sapphires, while the second opts for a sleek, minimalist design. Both buckles pay homage to the sport with intricately engraved tennis ball motifs. On the back, a terracotta-coloured garnet serves as a symbolic bridge between the tournament’s iconic two-tone RG shield and the esteemed Fred brand. Another highlight of this collection is the limited edition Force 10 cable, featuring three vibrant new shades: terracotta, white and blue. Designed with a gender-neutral and effortlessly chic appeal, these bracelets resonate not only with tennis aficionados but also with those who strive to push their boundaries daily.
