About this item

French-made sunglasses from circa the 1950s in glossy black acetate with an exceptionally slim rectangular silhouette. Gently lifted outer corners frame smoky green-grey lenses, and a pair of small star-shaped rivets decorates each side of the front. Slender temples and a compact 120 mm front give a neat profile, ideal for smaller faces.

Brand heritage

French acetate eyewear has been made for generations in the Jura region of eastern France, around Oyonnax and Morez, where mid-century workshops cut and polished frames by hand and stamped them simply "Made in France" or "Frame France".
