About this item

A slim, sharply winged cat eye frame in deep brown acetate, with translucent honey-brown temples that glow amber against the light. Small silver-tone arrow ornaments accent the upswept outer corners, and the pale yellow lenses give the classic early-sixties rockabilly / mod look. The temple is stamped MADE ITALY.

Brand heritage

In the late 1950s and 1960s Italian acetate makers produced many of the most elegant cat eye frames of the era, with crisp hand-finished bevels and decorative metal trims like the corner ornaments seen here. This frame carries no maker's name, only the MADE ITALY stamp inside the temple.
