About this item

A bold oversized 1970s Cobra frame in translucent amber-olive Optyl, with an angular browline, notched upper outer corners and softly rounded lower rims. The lenses are a brown gradient, darker at the top and lighter below.

The temples carry the metallic COBRA logo inlay; the frame is stamped 56□15.

Brand heritage

Optyl, a lightweight heat-memory material, was developed in Austria in 1964 by the Anger company (later Carrera). In the 1970s it allowed designers to make large, sculptural frames that stay light on the face, and Cobra Optyl frames of the period are now collected for their bold shapes and colours.
