About this item
A striking pair of vintage Nina Ricci Paris women's sunglasses with a bold eight-sided (octagonal) front. The translucent champagne acetate frame is decorated around each lens with four black inlay bars, each fixed by small gold-tone screw heads, giving a jewel-like architectural look. The bridge carries the gold Nina Ricci "N" emblem outlined in black, and a gold "N" plaque sits at each hinge. The temples are translucent with a gold-tone metal core and a fine black and amber stripe. The lenses are a soft pink-mauve gradient fading lighter toward the bottom.
Brand heritage
