About this item

A true 1950s pair of French-made panto sunglasses in thick glossy black acetate, fitted with cool aqua-blue tinted lenses. The rounded, slightly teardrop lens shape, keyhole-free saddle bridge and twin silver rivets at each end piece give it the clean, strong look of mid-century French eyewear. It wears well on men and women.

Brand heritage

France, and above all the Jura frame-making town of Oyonnax, was the heart of European acetate eyewear in the 1950s. Unsigned French workshop frames of this era, marked only 'Frame France' or 'France', are prized today for their thick hand-finished acetate and bold mid-century shapes.
