1980s Safilo
Safilo TANGO 574 Vintage Sunglasses – Made in Italy
This frame is typical of Italian productions from the late 70s to early 80s. Made by hand or in small semi-industrial series in the Dolomites, the frames of this period use a dense, heat-polished acetate, renowned for its durability.
These glasses embody a pivotal moment in European eyewear: the rise of independent Italian manufacturers, just before the wave of massive industrialization in the 1990s led by Luxottica. They also demonstrate a rare expertise today: high-quality, limited-edition manufacturing, at the crossroads between optics and fashion accessories.
Cultural anecdote: the name “TANGO”
Why "TANGO"? In the 1970s and 1980s, fashion and music were one. Tango, a sensual dance of Argentinian origin, is making a comeback in trendy European circles. This evocative name suggests a pair of glasses that "dance" with light, movement, and the gaze of others.
