About this item
A genuine pair of vintage French sunglasses with a generous oversized teardrop shape. The full-rim frame is a glossy black acetate with a slim keyhole-style bridge, two silver pin rivets on each end piece and riveted metal hinges. The slender temples are layered black and translucent acetate around a visible metal wire core, and each temple is stamped "MADE IN FRANCE". The large 60 mm lenses have a warm, solid brown tint.
Brand heritage
France, and especially the Jura region around Oyonnax and Morez, was the centre of European eyewear making through the mid-20th century. Many fine acetate frames of that era were made without a maker's name on the frame. This pair carries only the "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp, so it is offered honestly as unbranded vintage French eyewear.
