About this item

Authentic 1950s French cat-eye sunglasses with a sharply pointed, upswept silhouette in glossy jet-black acetate. Two tiny silver-tone star rivets decorate each corner and the sculpted temples flare at the tips. The inner temples read "L&S" and "Frame France", and the frame is stamped 46/22. Smoke-grey lenses.

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.
