About this item

A striking pair of vintage women's sunglasses with a thick, rounded oval front and softly upswept outer corners. The frame is cut from layered acetate: a dark brown top layer with fine diagonal cream and gold striations, laid over a translucent honey-yellow back layer that shows as a glowing yellow edge around the rims and along the temples. Two small silver-tone pin rivets sit at each outer corner of the front and on each temple by the hinge. Thick, matching striated temples and brown gradient lenses, darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.

Brand heritage

This frame is unsigned: there is no brand name, logo or model number on the front or temples. One inner temple carries a small stamp that has worn away and can no longer be read. The two-pin rivets and the hand-finished layered acetate are typical of quality European frames from the mid-twentieth century.

• Bold oval cat-eye shape with thick, sculpted acetate rims
• Unusual layered acetate: striated brown over translucent honey yellow
