About this item

An elegant pair of vintage Nina Ricci Paris sunglasses with a bold oversized square silhouette. The front is a translucent honey-amber / caramel acetate with soft streaks, fading to clear crystal at the end pieces, and a fine pale-gold inlay line runs inside the rim along the top and outer side of each lens. Large square lenses in a solid olive-brown tint. Each temple carries the gold metal "N" logo just behind the hinge, and the slim striped amber temples are reinforced with a metal core. Inside the temples: "NINA RICCI PARIS" on one side and "HANDMADE FRANCE 156-M053" on the other.

Brand heritage

Nina Ricci founded her Paris couture house in 1932 with her son Robert Ricci, and it became one of the great names of French fashion and fragrance (L'Air du Temps, 1948). In the 1970s and 1980s the house licensed eyewear made by hand in France, and these acetate frames, signed with the "N" logo, are now sought after by vintage collectors.
