About this item

New old stock Cobra round sunglasses, model 3012 in colour 80, never worn.

The temples are marked with the Optyl logo, COBRA, FRAME AUSTRIA and 3012-80.

Brand heritage

Cobra frames were made in Austria in Optyl, the lightweight heat-cured material patented in 1964 by Wilhelm Anger, founder of Carrera. Optyl is about 20% lighter than acetate, hypoallergenic and keeps its shape, which is why Austrian Optyl frames of the 1970s are prized by collectors today.
