About this item

A striking pair of vintage mod "mask" sunglasses from the space-age era. The thick, rounded frame is a glossy cream / ivory acetate, handmade in France, with a sweeping one-piece brow that dips gently over a low, narrow bridge, framing two large trapezoid lenses. The lenses are a soft grey gradient, darker at the top and fading to almost clear at the bottom. Wide, straight cream temples open on riveted metal hinges, with two small pin-rivet dots on each front end piece and on the outside of each temple, a construction typical of quality European frames of the period. Small clear nose pads are fitted inside the bridge.

Brand heritage

The bold, sculpted mask shape belongs to the 1960s and early 1970s mod and space-age fashion movement, when designers in Paris and Milan turned sunglasses into statement pieces. This pair was handmade in France from cut acetate. It carries no maker's name or model number, so it is offered honestly as unbranded French vintage eyewear.
