About this item

A new-old-stock pair of 1970s Viennaline sunglasses, reference 1148 colour 41, made in Austria. Thin gold-tone metal rims form a large, soft butterfly shape, with amber-brown Optyl side pieces at the outer corners. The translucent amber Optyl temples show their screws and carry the Optyl logo and VIENNALINE name. Dark brown lenses complete the glamorous 1970s look.

Brand heritage

Viennaline was founded in Austria in the 1950s by Wilhelm Anger, who also founded Carrera and invented Optyl, a light, heat-stable epoxy-resin frame material. Many of its designs were by Udo Proksch, and the brand helped popularise the cat-eye and butterfly shapes of the period.
