About this item

A vintage pair of Christian Dior women's sunglasses, model 2302 in colour 41, with a frame made in Germany. The large soft-octagonal front has fine gold-tone wire rims, and at each outer corner an open V-shaped wing finished in burgundy-brown enamel frames a small cut-out, a signature 1980s Dior detail. Slim gold temples carry the CD logo plaque and a ribbed gold bar near the hinges and end in black temple tips. The frame has a gold double-wire bridge, clear nose pads on adjustable pad arms, and grey-green gradient lenses, darker at the top and fading to pale at the bottom.

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 metal and Optyl frames produced in Germany. Vintage German-made Dior sunglasses are widely collected today for their quality and glamorous designs.
