About this item

Vintage L&S women's cat-eye sunglasses made in France circa the 1950s, in unused vintage condition. The translucent smoky brown frame has subtle olive tones and softly upswept corners, with two small star-shaped metal accents at each outer edge. Dark grey-green lenses complement the frame, and sculpted temples show their metal reinforcement. The inner temples are stamped L&S and Frame France.

Brand heritage

L&S is a French frame mark found on mid-century acetate frames stamped Frame France. 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".
