1960s Selecta Sunglasses with Lilac Ombre Translucent Frames
These vintage sunglasses are giving me real Chloé vibes. The retro design feels very contemporary, they would be right at home on the catwalks today.
The Selecta brand was founded in New York in the 1950s by Berliner George E. Koch. The brand produced most of their high quality designs in France. These are deadstock so they have never been worn. They have a solid, quality construction.

Care Advice To clean day-to-day, use lens cleaner and a microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, please visit an optician.
Notes For optimal modern standard UV protection, you may choose to have the original lenses changed. As the law that governs standards on UV protection was only introduced in the 1980s, all sunglasses made before then may not offer UV protection to modern standards.
