About this item

A bold pair of mid-century mod sunglasses with a true geometric hexagon shape. The frame is cut from thick, solid glossy black acetate with deep, chunky rims and sharp pointed outer corners, joined by a short sculpted saddle bridge. The flat-sided hexagonal lenses are a dark grey-green tint. The straight, heavy black temples open on riveted metal hinges, with a small gold-tone pin rivet on the outside of each end piece and gold-tone hinge plates on the inside, a construction typical of hand-made European frames of the 1960s.

Brand heritage

The 1960s brought the space-age, op-art and "mod" movement into fashion eyewear, with designers and small European workshops experimenting with graphic geometric shapes such as hexagons and octagons. Many of these frames were made without a maker's name. This pair carries no brand name or stamp anywhere on the frame, so it is offered honestly as unbranded vintage eyewear.
