About this item

A sleek, narrow almond cat eye in warm honey-blonde tortoise acetate with soft darker streaks, finished with two small rivets at each upswept corner and brown lenses. Both temples are stamped MADE IN FRANCE. A glamorous yet wearable mid-century frame.

Brand heritage

The cat eye frame became one of the defining looks of the 1950s, and France - above all the frame-making centre of Oyonnax in the Jura - produced many of the finest acetate versions of the period. Original mid-century French cat eye frames are now keenly collected for their hand-finished acetate and authentic shapes.
