About this item

A classic mid-century Italian men's frame signed "BARUFFALDI - ITALY" on the inside of the temple. The thick, sculpted acetate front has a squared rectangular shape with a keyhole-style bridge; it reads almost black from the front and glows a deep translucent burgundy (black cherry) at the edges and along the temples. Each temple carries two small silver star rivets beside the hinge. Fitted with pale yellow-green tinted lenses and brass hinges.

Brand heritage

Baruffaldi is a Milan eyewear maker making protective eyewear since the 1930s, best known for its motorcycle, aviation and ski goggles and sport sunglasses. Classic acetate fashion frames signed Baruffaldi from this period turn up far less often than its goggles.
