About this item

A slim mid-century cat eye in clear crystal acetate fading to pale honey, with warm orange-brown tortoise blotches across the brow and corners and a matching spotted pattern along the temples. Brown lenses. Light, feminine and very wearable.

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.
