Vintage Diane de Carlo 3016/2 Sunglasses Clear Pink Lens Handmade France 52-18

About this item

A pair of vintage women's sunglasses by the French label Diane de Carlo, model 3016/2, handmade in France. The large soft-square butterfly front is cut from clear crystal acetate. Amber-brown shading runs along the brow and down the outer sides, and a fine white and dark inlay line frames each lens, with small white accent bars at the upper outer corners. The lenses are a rose-pink tint.

The clear crystal temples have a gold-tone metal core that shows through the acetate, gold-tone hinges, and a black oval plaque with the gold interlocking "DC" monogram on the outside of each temple.
