About this item

A genuine mid-century pair of French sunglasses with a softly squared front in warm translucent tortoise acetate and solid brown lenses. The inner temple is stamped MADE IN FRANCE and the frame uses classic riveted metal hinges. Balanced, slightly oversized proportions make it an easy unisex vintage frame.

Brand heritage

France has a long eyewear tradition centred on the Jura town of Oyonnax, which became the country's frame-making capital in the 19th and 20th centuries; by the 1950s its workshops were turning out hand-finished acetate frames in elegant shapes that collectors still prize today.
