About this item

A vintage pair of Christian Dior women's sunglasses, model 2187 in colour 30, with a frame made in Germany. The soft oversized butterfly front is made of Optyl, the lightweight material used for many of Dior's best-known vintage frames, and fades from a deep reddish brown along the brows to a warm honey amber at the bottom. Three fine gold metal lines are inlaid along the upper outer corner of each brow. The slim gold metal temples carry a brown enamel stripe and a small gold CD logo near the hinges, and end in black temple tips. Fitted with light rose-brown tinted lenses.

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 and 1980s, with many of its Optyl frames produced in Germany and Austria. Vintage Dior Optyl sunglasses are widely collected today for their quality and glamorous designs.
