About this item

A striking pair of mid-century women's cat eye sunglasses with sharply upswept, pointed wing tips. The frame is cut from warm tortoise (havana) acetate with a deep brown-to-honey pattern, fitted with green lenses. Each front corner is decorated with two small silver six-pointed star rivets, a typical detail of hand-finished European frames of the 1950s and 1960s. Thick tortoise temples with visible metal wire cores and riveted metal hinges.
