Gianfranco Ferre GFF 106 086 Vintage Cat Eye Sunglasses Tortoise Gold 55-15 Case

About this item

A vintage pair of Gianfranco Ferre GFF 106 cat eye sunglasses in colour 086 (dark tortoise). The thick acetate front has softly upswept outer corners, each set with a square gold-tone plaque carrying an enamelled serif letter: "F" on one corner and "G" on the other. Matching gold-tone "GF" blocks sit on the outer temples beside the hinges, and the solid brown sun lenses give a warm, classic look. The inner temples are stamped "140 GIANFRANCO FERRE FRAME ITALY" and "140 GFF 106 086". The pair comes with its brown Safilo goldman slip case and the original Gianfranco Ferre Lunettes hang tag (Model GFF 106, Color 086, 55□15, 140, "Produced by Safilo Group").

Brand heritage

Gianfranco Ferre (1944-2007) trained as an architect in Milan, which earned him the nickname "the architect of fashion". He founded his own house in 1978 and was artistic director of Christian Dior from 1989 to 1996. His eyewear was produced in Italy by Safilo, as the tag on this pair shows.
