About this item

An elegant pair of vintage Roberto Capucci designer sunglasses, model 211, colour 30, made in Italy. The squared butterfly / cat-eye front is two-tone: a marbled royal blue and violet acetate brow bar sits over clear, pale champagne crystal lower rims and bridge, and the upper outer corners are cut flat for a crisp, architectural silhouette. Each upper corner carries a small square gold-tone plaque with the RC monogram. The thick marbled blue temples are decorated with a gold-tone curb-chain inlay near the hinge, and the inside of the temples is printed "ROBERTO CAPUCCI ITALY" and "RC 211 Ø 56-15 30". Fitted with solid dark green lenses.

Brand heritage

Roberto Capucci (born Rome, 1930) is one of Italy's most celebrated couturiers, famous for his sculptural evening gowns and his mastery of colour and pleated fabric. He opened his Rome atelier in 1950 and later showed in Paris; his work is held by museums and was exhibited at the Venice Biennale. His name also appeared on licensed accessories, including Italian-made eyewear such as this RC-signed frame.
