About this item

A vintage pair of Ted Lapidus Paris sunglasses. One temple is stamped "TED LAPIDUS PARIS" and the inside of the other temple reads "MADE IN FRANCE TL 19 90" (model TL 19, colour 90). Both temples carry the square gold-tone hinge plate with the interlocking TL monogram.

The frame is a bold, wide rectangular shape in thick glossy black acetate with a straight top line. Each lens is framed by a raised gold-tone textured rope (snake-chain style) border, and the bridge carries a diamond-shaped ornament of small clear rhinestones and gold studs. Thick black acetate temples and solid grey lenses complete the look.

Brand heritage

Ted Lapidus (1929-2008) was a Paris couturier who opened his fashion house in the 1950s and became known for bringing couture styling to ready-to-wear. His Ted Lapidus Paris eyewear, with gold hardware and jewel details, was produced in France and is collected today as classic French designer sunglasses.
