The thick glossy black temples carry "TED LAPIDUS PARIS" on the outside and "TL202 1020" and "MADE IN FRANCE CE" on the inside.

Brand heritage

Ted Lapidus (1929-2008) was a Paris couturier who opened his fashion house in the 1950s and became known in the 1960s and 1970s for bringing couture ideas into ready-to-wear, including the safari jacket and unisex styles. His name was later licensed for accessories, fragrance and eyewear, with frames made in France.
