About this item

An authentic vintage Balenciaga ladies' frame, handmade in France in the late 1970s to 1980s. The translucent honey-amber tortoiseshell acetate glows in the light, and the upper outer corners are decorated with fine gold leaf lines and tiny clear rhinestones. A gold-tone interlocking BB logo sits on the side of each temple. Dark green lenses complete the look.

Brand heritage

Balenciaga was founded by Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga, who opened his first house in San Sebastian in 1917 and his Paris house in 1937. Known as "the master" of couture, he shaped fashion for decades. Vintage French-made Balenciaga eyewear with the BB logo is now sought after by collectors.
