90s vintage small oval sunglasses. Imposing minimal black gloss metal victorian style frame. Steampunk. Unused BNWT

When sunglasses began their journey into more general usage about 150 years ago, they looked pretty much like this format, as they were always, metal, oval, rectangular or round and fairly small. Living proof that a good idea never dies, these minimal shades have an imposing presence which is hardly surprising given the amount of history behind them. This is partly due to the slightly widened bridge that overcomes the fundamental problem of this style of sunglass always looking too small. Consequently the format is re-balanced and as a result the nose pads are exposed as a feature.

BNWT in mint condition.
Full UV protection.

We have a showroom in London for private clients which you can also message here to make an appointment.
We’ve had features in Vogue Homme International, Elle Japan, Spoon magazine, Cosmopolitan, The Sunday Times, Fashionbeans and too many more to mention.
Organisations we’ve sold to include Tom Ford, Gucci, John Galliano, Kering eyewear, Paul Smith, Romeo Gigli, Victoria Beckham company, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen amongst others, as well as numerous UK based producers who we would say are more commercially focused than brand focused. We also sell to many UK costume designers and wardrobe co-ordinators for theatre and musical productions including many in the West End.
We have sold to international costume people, whom we’re not allowed to divulge what production they’re using the items for except for the series connected to The Wu-Tang clan.
And the point being, if what we’re doing is good enough for all of them, it’s good enough for everyone.
