Christian Dior 70s vintage big round eye glasses made in Austria. Silver optical frame with dynamic reflective grey enamel. Prescription RX

Another collectors treat released from our archive of 70s Dior. This model has a shiny silver frame that is rounded and sweeps backwards slightly from the front that gives a goggle type appearance. This sloping angle then creates a dynamic reflective effect on the grey enamel surface as it moves around, catching the light in different ways. This dynamism is frankly not entirely coming across in the pictures and needs us to spell it out. Ultimately this is why you should be coming in search of Dior who at this time in particular, were in a league of their own. These glasses are used and pre owned but still look pristine including the nose pad which should be yellowed by now but isn't. This is due to the underlying quality as opposed to careful usage. And in all seriousness, how many modern day products { outside of the 250K supercar realm } in any category could vouch for such a quality.

Needless to say this is an imposing look by any question of measure which will need some courage and flair to wear which you will need to be realistic about. Do not order these and tell us they're fabulous but must be returned because they're too much for you. We know that already, we just said so twice. Having said that, the dimensions are actually relatively normal especially compared to some of Diors outrageous creations in the 70s.

Comes with prescription lenses which must be replaced with your own prescription.
