"Christian Dior" 80’s sculptural tortoiseshell optyl sunglasses

Since its founding, Christian Dior has incorporated elegance into everyday attire and elevated it to new aesthetic harmony with each era. We introduce a superb piece that embodies the essence of Christian Dior Monsieur, with a focus on its sculptural beauty.

This piece features a striking deep tortoiseshell pattern and a majestic shape.

The front is based on a large square shape, with slightly rounded corners, creating a strong outline around the face without appearing too stiff. It produces a quiet yet powerful impression in the gaze. Additionally, the three-dimensional undulations around the bridge create a sculptural depth, making even the profile a work of art.

The temple's beautiful design utilizes its thickness, with subtle ridges and gloss creating a deep tortoiseshell effect. The way light hits it changes its expression, adding to its charm. A modest oval CD logo plate is placed, balancing subtlety and elegance without over-asserting the brand.

This particular piece features an inner engraving with the notation Ch.Dior monsieur, the Optyl logo, MADE IN GERMANY, and model number 2001-10, making it highly convincing from both material and background perspectives.

Optyl was an innovative resin in eyewear history at the time, known for its transparent coloration and ease of achieving a glossy finish. The deep tortoiseshell pattern is expressed without cloudiness, and its property of maintaining shape after being warmed and cooled contributes to fitting stability.

The dating is also clearly supported by evidence, firstly, the notation Christian Dior Monsieur itself indicates it is a men's line prior to Dior Homme. Additionally, it is made before Dior's eyewear manufacturing shifted from Optyl to another system. Moreover, the German-made label and the powerful large shape strongly align with the atmosphere of the 1980s, making it a piece from around that era.

Even on simple days, it adds a decisive outline around the face, making it especially recommended for those who want to elevate the overall style at the last moment. It is a superb piece for those seeking vintage items that speak through material and shape rather than logos.

In terms of styling, pairing a neat setup with shirts or lightweight knits and accentuating only around the face creates an urban mood. Additionally, complementing a minimalist look with a long coat and slacks allows the 80s-inspired contours to blend into modern serenity. Furthermore, finishing the neckline with turtleneck or high-neck tops enhances the three-dimensionality of the frame.

Definitely take this opportunity.
