About this item

A bold pair of vintage oversized round sunglasses by Piave, straight from the mod / space-age era. The thick sculpted plastic frame has a wavy, double-dipped brow above each lens and a rich two-tone colourway: deep burnt orange / amber on the outer rims and brow, fading to a pale translucent honey-cream at the bridge. The wide, twisted temples are stamped with the Piave logo on the outside and open on riveted metal hinges. The large round-oval lenses have an even light grey-brown smoke tint. Both original lens stickers are still in place: a gold "CR 39" lens sticker and a gold Piave logo sticker.

Brand heritage

Piave is a vintage Italian eyewear name, called after the river Piave that runs through the Belluno area, the heart of Italy's eyewear industry. Its logo is found on bold plastic frames from the 1960s to the 1980s, which are sought after today for their sculpted Italian designs. The logo on the temples is often read as "Plave" because of its stylised lettering.
