About this item

An original Essel Boutique sunglass from around 1970: a bold square frame with heavy bevelled rims in translucent honey-olive acetate with horizontal horn-like striations, and solid dark brown lenses. Inner temples are stamped "ESSEL BOUTIQUE" and "ESSEL 80.62".

Brand heritage

Essel was a major French optical maker that merged with its rival Silor on 1 January 1972 to form Essilor, today part of EssilorLuxottica. Essel-signed frames therefore date from before or around that merger.
