About this item

A vintage pair of women's cat eye (butterfly) sunglasses in two-tone acetate: a solid dark brown/black upper brow band over translucent amber tortoise lower rims. The top of the bridge carries a small square gold-tone plaque engraved with an interlocking OM monogram. Solid brown lenses, tortoise acetate temples with the characteristic pointed notch on the lower edge, and riveted metal hinges. One temple is stamped "ONYX OM 881"; the other temple carries a designer signature stamp beginning "Olivier M..." and ending "...Paris" (partly worn and not fully legible).

Brand heritage

The frame is signed with an OM monogram on the bridge and a Paris designer signature on the temple, typical of the French designer-licensed acetate eyewear of the 1970s and 1980s. We describe only the markings visible on the frame and do not attribute it beyond what is stamped.
