About this item

A true mid-century pair of French sunglasses in thick glossy black acetate, with a softly upswept oval cat-eye front, two small silver rivets on each corner and deep bottle-green lenses. Clean, bold and wearable, with a keyhole-free sculpted bridge and straight temples.

Brand heritage

France was one of the great centres of hand-made acetate eyewear in the 1950s, with Jura and Oyonnax workshops supplying frames across Europe and America; this unbranded pair is typical of that era's thick, hand-finished acetate and pinned construction.
