About this item

A pair of vintage oversized oval sunglasses made in France, in a warm mottled honey-and-brown tortoiseshell acetate. The large rounded lenses, the sculpted brow line and the open double bridge give it the relaxed, glamorous 1960s-70s Riviera look. The amber-to-light-gold gradient lenses are darker at the top and soften toward the bottom. The temples are stamped "FRANCE" on the inside and attach with riveted metal hinges.

Brand heritage

The frame carries no maker's name, only the "FRANCE" stamp. In the mid-20th century the Jura region of eastern France (Oyonnax and Morez) was the heart of French eyewear manufacturing, where acetate frames like this one were cut, shaped and polished largely by hand.
