Vintage Jacques Fath Sonate 170 Women's Butterfly Sunglasses Crystal Peach Gold

About this item

A vintage pair of Jacques Fath sunglasses, model "Sonate", colour 170. The large soft-square butterfly front is crystal acetate, clear at the top and shading to a warm peach toward the lower rim and the outer corners. The gold-tone metal hinge plates carry a black "JF" monogram on the outside and a "JACQUES FATH" plaque on the inside. The translucent temples have a textured gold core, a smoky band near the hinge and peach tips. The lenses are a solid brown sun tint.

Brand heritage

Jacques Fath (1912-1954) was one of the great Paris couturiers of the post-war years. He opened his couture house in Paris in 1937, and his name was later licensed for accessories such as these sunglasses.
