About this item

A vintage pair of Christian Dior women's rimless glasses, model 2591 in colour 40, with a frame made in Austria. Large oval rimless lenses with a soft peach-pink gradient tint (deeper at the top, almost clear at the bottom) are held by a fine gold wire bridge and slim gold wire supports that curve around the outer edge of each lens. At the hinges sits the signature decoration: two curved silver-tone bars set with small clear rhinestones and capped with ribbed silver coils, inside a gold triangular frame, a refined two-tone detail. The hinges carry the CD logo. Slim gold temples with the "© Christian Dior" script logo, clear nose pads on adjustable pad arms and dark brown temple tips complete the look. The light tint makes them wearable as fashion sunglasses, and the rimless frame can also be fitted with prescription lenses by an optician.

Brand heritage

Christian Dior founded his couture house in Paris in 1946 and changed post-war fashion with the "New Look" of 1947. Dior eyewear followed from the late 1960s and became one of the best-known designer eyewear lines of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with many of its metal frames produced in Austria and Germany. Vintage Austrian-made Dior frames are widely collected today for their quality and glamorous designs.
