About this item

A vintage pair of large, softly squared women's sunglasses by Ratti of Italy, model 0748. The frame is a translucent marbled acetate that mixes honey amber, sea green and olive streaks, so the colour shifts as the light moves through it. The big rounded-square lenses have a classic brown gradient, dark at the top and fading to almost clear at the bottom, a typical late 1970s / early 1980s look. Slim straight temples with riveted hinges. The inside of one temple is stamped "RATTI" and "0748".

Brand heritage

Ratti is the Turin optical house founded by Giuseppe Ratti in 1917, the company that created the Persol brand ("per il sole", for the sun). For decades its frames were made and stamped "Ratti" in Italy, and vintage Ratti eyewear is collected today for its Italian acetate work and quality.
