About this item

An original 1950s French cat eye in black acetate, decorated at the upswept corners and along the temples with gold-tone engraved leaf, arrow and dashed-line detailing, fitted with soft blue lenses.

Brand heritage

France has a long eyewear tradition centred on the Jura town of Oyonnax, which became the country's frame-making capital. By the 1950s French workshops were producing hand-finished acetate frames in bold shapes, and original mid-century French frames are prized today for their material quality and design.
