Despite the intervening 70s years worth of tech/manufacturing advances, systematic demolition of western cultural taboos, exponential layers of design innovation & of course the fashion worlds imperative to arrest peoples attention by any means available, these extraordinary sunglasses can still hold their own with the very best of them in all of those categories. They have that immediate impact of ‘your’e allowed to dislike me ( if you’ve got poor taste ) but you’re not allowed to ignore me’, which is the unspoken fashion mantra of the modern day thats supposed to be current & yet heres the the proof of it’s ancient origins. That’s what you can get a sense of when wearing them, with their evocative seaside tiger stripes that practically appear hand painted, & abstract condensed pointed cat eye shape which can only be compared to the mask of anonymity placed on the 70s comic book super villainesses which are so clearly those male artists creation of their ultimate women. Complete with original glass lenses we are quick to remind that 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. Stamped ‘Made in USA.
