About this item

A striking pair of vintage women's sunglasses by Balenciaga Paris, model 2030, colour code BLR. The ivory (cream) frame has softly pointed almond / cat-eye lens shapes, and the upper outer corners are finished in raspberry red with engraved line detailing, and the red temple fronts carry an embossed tone-on-tone interlocking BB monogram. The lenses fade from sky blue at the top to sunny yellow at the bottom, a bold and very collectible 1980s look. The inner temples are printed "BALENCIAGA PARIS" and "2030 BLR MADE IN FRANCE".

Brand heritage

Balenciaga was founded by Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga, who opened his Paris couture house in 1937 and became one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. After the house closed its couture salon in 1968, the Balenciaga name continued on licensed accessories and eyewear, and these French-made frames from the 1970s and 1980s are now sought after by vintage eyewear collectors.
