About this item

A large French-made oval frame in thick honey-amber tortoise acetate, with deep rims, a sculpted solid bridge and wide temples. Bottle-green lenses complete a bold, sculpted retro look with a strong 1950s character.

Brand heritage

France has a long eyewear tradition centred on the Jura town of Oyonnax, the country's frame-making capital. After the Second World War French makers produced chunky, hand-finished acetate frames, and thick oval sunglasses became a strong, masculine look of the 1950s.
