About this item

A colourful pair of vintage Zeiss sunglasses made in West Germany in the 1980s. The squared, flat-top front is translucent amber/yellow acetate decorated with an artistic pattern of orange, green and teal brush strokes, with small teal accents at the top corners. A slim gold-tone metal brow bar runs across the top and over the bridge, and the gold-tone metal temples end in burgundy red tips. Fitted with light blue tinted lenses.

Brand heritage

Carl Zeiss was founded in Jena, Germany, in 1846 and became one of the best-known names in optics, from microscopes and camera lenses to spectacle lenses. In the 1970s and 1980s Zeiss also produced fashion and sun frames in West Germany, and these "Zeiss W. Germany" frames, with their quality materials and bold designs, are sought after by collectors of vintage eyewear today.
