About this item

An elegant pair of vintage Jean Louis Scherrer Paris women's sunglasses, frame made in France and stamped "TORINO". The softly squared cat-eye front is cut from a translucent mosaic acetate of creamy mother-of-pearl-like chips and warm honey/amber chips. Each upper outer corner carries a gold-tone metal brow insert with black enamel diagonal stripes and fine engraved chevron lines, a motif repeated on the thin gold-tone temples, which finish in black plastic tips. The lenses are a flat, even light rose/peach tint.

Brand heritage

Jean-Louis Scherrer (1935-2013) was a French couturier who opened his Paris haute couture house in 1962 and became known for refined, luxurious eveningwear. The house licensed its name to French eyewear, and Jean Louis Scherrer Paris sunglasses from the 1980s are collected today for their jewellery-like detailing.
