About this item

A bold pair of vintage Alfa Romeo shield sunglasses, stamped "A.R. 883-80" on the inside of the temple and "LIVEN MADE IN ITALY" on the other temple. A single sweeping one-piece amber-brown lens hangs from a slim dark brown metal brow bar with a fine light inner line, with a thin keyhole wire bridge and clear nose pads. The straight brown metal temples carry a silver-tone plaque with the Alfa Romeo script logo on the outside and the round Liven emblem on the inside. A clean, sporty 1980s racing look.

Brand heritage

Alfa Romeo is the Milan car maker founded in 1910, famous for its racing history. In the 1970s and 1980s, sunglasses carrying the Alfa Romeo name were made under licence in Italy by Liven, and these metal driving and aviator frames are now sought after by eyewear and motoring collectors.
