About this item

A vintage pair of Fred Lunettes Goelette sunglasses from the Force 10 collection, made in France. The gold-plated oval frame carries the twisted gold-and-steel cable that defines Force 10 along the brow and the temples, with ribbed sculpted end pieces and shackle-style hinges. The lenses are a soft grey gradient with a light mauve cast. Inner temples are engraved FRED, made in France, GOELETTE and 135. Supplied with the FRED Lunettes case shown in the photos.

Brand heritage

Fred was founded in Paris in 1936 by jeweller Fred Samuel. In 1966 the house created Force 10, a design inspired by sailing and the steel cables of yachts, which became its signature. The same nautical cable and shackle motif was carried into Fred Lunettes eyewear, and the vintage French-made frames are collected today.
