“Christian Dior” 70’s-80’s textured optyl square sunglasses

From Christian Dior, which has, since its founding, centered on the value of elegance and continuously proposed a refined presence that reflects the aesthetics of each era, we are pleased to introduce an eyewear masterpiece whose design vividly reflects the era's technological innovations and ornamentation.

Using Optyl resin, which rose as an innovative material from the 1970s to the 1980s, this piece features a three-dimensional form that takes advantage of molding freedom and a structure in which decorative elements stand out.

The front is designed with a slightly wider square shape, achieving an exquisite balance that tightens the facial silhouette without becoming overly sharp. With lenses that graduate from brown to yellow against a black frame, the expression changes with the angle of light, elevating them from mere sunglasses to a presence with visual depth.

The temple sections feature a hammered texture with a raised/concave pattern that, when light hits it, reflects randomly, giving the resin a gemstone-like quality, and a gold-colored CD logo piece is discreetly placed at the center, quietly asserting the brand's elegance.

Optyl is lightweight yet highly memory-retentive, so it remains comfortable even for long wear; the coexistence of advanced functionality and design that was cutting-edge at the time is a value unique to this piece.

Regarding the era, the combination of the OPTYL logo inside the temple and Christian Dior copyright markings, along with a multi-piece metal hinge construction and a highly decorative temple design, is characteristic of eyewear from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, lending strong provenance that this piece indeed dates from that era.

Considering the jet-set culture of that time, where eyewear was not merely a visual aid but a key element that completed one's style, this piece can subtly add a touch of glamour and strength around the face and bring depth to everyday styling.

In terms of styling, pairing with a structured silhouette jacket and a flowing draped top naturally connects the 70s atmosphere with the tension of contemporary fashion, and pairing with a long coat and drapey trousers yields a sophisticated, urban impression that transcends gender.

Please take this opportunity.
