Every collection (that’s aimed at improving your appearance) has to include whatever is the epitomy of it’s time in terms of design, production technology, unashamed flair, capturing the feeling of the era, accepting a pecking order of desirability & of course unquestionable authenticity. These effervescent sunglasses are a visual explanation of these ideas. You wouldn’t claim to be a gangster film buff & then admit that you never got around to watching the Godfather. This is the same thing. You cannot have a collection from this period & not have some lucite with glitter or diamante shades in your treasure chest. You can pretend that collecting is personal & not competitive, but it’s better to be honest with yourself, then go out & find the very best example of each category, & here it is. Combining the overriding favourites of the late 40s, ( the cat eye & the feminine wayfarer ) into one shape, transparent frame but in an unusual light grey, quality real glass lenses & most importantly, this format usually tended to have confetti glitter in the plastic but this pair has diamante instead. Very good overall condition with a refurbished levelled frame. No scratches on the lenses. Please note, whether you’re a vintage enthusiast whose gotten used to being spoiled by superior historical quality or not, glass is now a specialist product in todays market thats exponentially more expensive than plastics in exactly the same way as laminate vs wooden flooring/worktops etc Decent women’s medium size. frame width (outside widest point): 136mm frame height: 45mm temple length (from the hinge & including ear bend): 145mm bridge width: 22mm inside hinge to hinge: 127mm Shipping guidelines Uk combined up to 3 items for stated price. + 2 for each extra item.
