Vintage 80s Balenciaga 2758 ECA Sunglasses Honey Tortoise Rhinestone France 57

About this item

A genuine vintage pair of Balenciaga Paris sunglasses from the 1980s. The squared navigator-style front is cut from translucent honey and amber tortoise acetate with orange and golden mottling, and each upper outer corner is decorated with gold-etched leaf lines set with small clear rhinestones. A gold-tone "BB" logo sits on the outer side of each temple, with solid medium brown lenses and gold-tone metal hinges. The left temple is stamped "2758 ECA BALENCIAGA PARIS" and the right temple "HAND MADE FRANCE" with the maker's "S" mark and the size "57□13". A glamorous, feminine French design that is very typical of the period.

Brand heritage

Cristobal Balenciaga opened his Paris couture house on Avenue George V in 1937 and became one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. In the 1970s and 1980s the house licensed handmade acetate eyewear made in France, and these early "Balenciaga Paris" frames are now sought after by vintage collectors.
