About this item

New-old-stock 1980s Christian Dior model 2414 in colour 90: an elegant oversized butterfly-square front in black Optyl with a gold patterned finish, black temples with the CD logo at the hinge, and green lenses. It still carries its Christian Dior "Certificat de protection solaire" tag. The temple is stamped "FRAME MADE IN GERMANY 2414 90 55□12".

Brand heritage

Christian Dior opened his Paris couture house in 1946 and changed fashion in 1947 with the "New Look". Dior was one of the first couture houses to launch its own eyewear, made under licence in Germany and Austria from Optyl, the light, heat-mouldable material developed by Wilhelm Anger in 1964. Dior Optyl frames of the 1970s and 1980s are now among the most collected designer vintage eyewear.

Optyl is a heat-mouldable epoxy material developed in Austria by Wilhelm Anger in 1964: lighter than acetate, hypoallergenic, and able to return to its original shape when warmed.
