About this item

A true 1970s pair of women's oversized butterfly sunglasses, with the big rounded figure-eight lenses that drop low at the outer corners, the signature look of the decade. The frame is a beautiful marbled acetate swirling translucent grey, clear and soft beige-brown, deepening to brown at the outer corners, and holds solid smoke grey lenses. Slim wire-cored temples with a decorative stitched metal core and silver-tone hinges complete this well made German frame.

Brand heritage

The inside of the temple is stamped "D&S 810 FRAME GERMANY", and the other temple carries the size "Ø52 140". We have not been able to confirm the full name of the D&S maker, so it is described exactly as stamped. West German optical workshops were among the leading European frame makers of the 1970s, known for quality acetate and hinge work.
