About this item

A genuine pair of mid-century French cat eye sunglasses with a dramatic, sharply upswept wing shape. The front is a glossy charcoal black acetate with a subtle gunmetal sheen, set with two small silver rivet dots on each upper corner. The solid olive brown lenses sit in a slim full-rim front with a sculpted bridge and metal-backed nose pads. The thin temples have a wavy, scalloped top edge near the hinge and flared tips, and one temple is stamped "FRAME FRANCE" on the inside.

Brand heritage

In the 1950s, France, and especially the Jura region around Oyonnax and Morez, was the centre of European acetate eyewear making. Many frames of that era were made for export and stamped only "Frame France" instead of a maker's name. This pair carries no maker's name, so it is offered honestly as unbranded vintage French eyewear.
