"CELINE" 70's-80's Oversized square optical frames

"CELINE"
Late 70's-80's Triomphe motif oversized square optical frame

Since its founding in 1945, CELINE has continued to offer Parisian elegance and refined presence. We would like to introduce you to an exceptional piece featuring an iconic design.

Placed near the hinge is a double C motif that evokes the Triomphe symbolizing the Maison, adding a glamorous accent to a large, softly rounded square shape—its vintage character is the charm of this distinctive piece.

The front, with its well-proportioned vertical and horizontal dimensions, highlights the area around the face with a thick rim that traces gentle curves. Meanwhile, the semi-transparent tone that transitions from deep burgundy to reddish-brown softens the look with depth and, together with the transparency reminiscent of amber and champagne beige visible within, creates a captivating sense of depth.

On both sides, gold-toned metal parts with fine horizontal grooves are set in place, while C-shaped decorations face each other at the center, emitting a polished brilliance. The contrast between the voluminous resin frame and the delicate metal detailing has been refined into a CELINE balance that remains richly decorative yet never compromises elegance.

Along with the design elements from the 1970s onward—when the Triomphe became established as a symbol of the Maison—this piece can be understood as a vintage item, especially from the latter part of the 1970s through the 1980s, thanks to its large softly rounded form, grooved metal decoration, a barrel-shaped hinge using minus-groove screws, the concise "col. 5A" stamp remaining on the inner side of the temples, and specifications that feature no modern standard labeling.

The subtle color transitions seen in the reddish-brown frame, as well as the character of the understated gold-toned hardware—both are distinctive to individual frames that have aged over many years. You can feel the added value in the gentle glamour and one-of-a-kind expression that contemporary eyewear simply does not offer.

Because it can make the outline of your style unmistakable simply by adding it to a minimalist look, it is particularly recommended for those who want to keep the spirit of vintage while incorporating it naturally into everyday life—or for anyone who would like to add refinement around the face with an accessory-like feel. It pairs beautifully not only with crisp shirts and high-gauge knits, but also with tailored jackets and minimal dresses, helping the classic design feel even more polished.

An eyewear piece that allows you to enjoy both the Maison’s symbolism and the unmistakable presence of vintage—also compelling as a collection item. Please take this opportunity.
