1970 Vintage Cat's Eye (Tortoiseshell collar)
An iconic model from the 1950s, these tortoiseshell acetate cat-eye sunglasses are a testament to the bold style of the post-war era. With their curved frames, mineral green lenses, and horn-effect finish, they reflect an era when women's eyewear became a statement accessory.
Their pointed shape, popularized by Hollywood actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly, draws inspiration from futuristic design and the atomic age's taste for feminine sophistication. The twisted temples add a rare detail, evoking the era's artisanal research in molded acetate.
A model probably made in France or Italy, at a time when eyewear workshops were competing in creativity, at the beginning of industrial standardization.
