About this item

Large rounded-square vintage sunglasses by the French eyewear maker Cottet. The oversized front is a translucent two-tone acetate that fades from smoky grey along the top and outer edges to warm honey-yellow at the bottom and across the bridge, fitted with solid amber/orange-brown tinted lenses. The flat brushed silver-tone metal temples have a distinctive stepped zig-zag bend just behind the hinges and finish in black temple tips. The outer temple carries the stylised COTTET logo; the inner temple is stamped "56/18 310".
