A bold pair of vintage oversized sunglasses in glossy acetate with an irregular purple and mustard-yellow tiger-stripe pattern across the front, a solid purple top edge and soft rounded-square lenses. The mustard-yellow temples carry fine purple pinstripes and finish in rounded tips. On the outside of both temples, next to the hinges, sit small dark antique-finish metal plaques with a scroll motif. The solid brown lenses complete the warm retro look.
Markings: the inside of the left temple is stamped "G 527". No maker's name is printed on the frame, so no brand is given.
