Vintage 70s Nina Ricci Paris 116-FCH Oversized Sunglasses Pink Champagne 58mm

About this item

A glamorous pair of vintage Nina Ricci Paris women's sunglasses with a large, softly squared oversized front whose upper outer corners flare out slightly beyond the hinges. The translucent pale champagne frame is lined around each lens with a fine dark brown rim that widens along the brow line. The bridge carries the black-outlined Nina Ricci "N" emblem and a gold "N" sits at each hinge. The translucent temples show a gold-tone foil core. The lenses are a solid, uniform rose pink.
