About this item

A stylish pair of 1980s Italian designer sunglasses from Safilo's Elasta line, model Emozioni 8, colour 57T. The large flat-top pilot front is a translucent peach / salmon plastic that fades to almost clear at the bottom edge, holding brown-to-amber gradient lenses. A slim gold-tone metal brow bar runs across the top with a silver pyramid stud above the bridge, and angled silver-tone metal caps finish the top outer corners. Slim gold-tone metal temples with clear tips open on Elasta hinges.

Brand heritage

Safilo was founded in 1934 in the Veneto region of Italy and grew into one of the world's largest eyewear makers. Elasta was its long-running line of frames, and Emozioni was a women's collection within it. The temples of this pair are stamped "elasta", "Emozioni 8", "57T", "SAFILO" and "frame Italy".
