Brand heritage

S.T. Dupont was founded in Paris in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont and is known for luxury lighters, pens and leather goods finished in genuine Chinese lacquer. In the 1980s and 1990s its eyewear was made in Austria by Estede, whose logo is stamped on this frame, in heavy gold plated metal with lacquer details that echo the house's lighters.
