About this item

A glamorous 1950s ladies' cat eye frame in glossy black acetate with sleek almond lenses that sweep up at the corners. Each outer corner is set with a small triangle of sparkling clear rhinestones, and the dark green lenses give the classic mid-century look. Ideal for parties, rockabilly or pin-up styling.

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.
