Genuine 1960s Sunglasses

These rare striking 1960s sunglasses are a wonderful example of the bold, fashion forward eyewear that defined the decade. The frame features a dramatic wraparound cat eye shape, with sweeping lines that flare gently at the outer corners, creating a glamorous and distinctly feminine silhouette.

The translucent acetate frame is finished in a striking mottled pattern resembling snakeskin or exotic animal print, blending warm cream, honey, brown, and charcoal tones. This textured appearance gives the glasses a luxurious, high fashion feel typical of the era’s fascination with daring colours and patterns.

The dark oval lenses provide strong contrast against the light frame, while the sculpted brow line and broad temples add to the oversized, futuristic aesthetic popular during the Space Age fashion movement of the 1960s. 

With their combination of exotic patterning, sweeping curves, and bold proportions, these sunglasses perfectly capture the optimism, glamour, and experimental style that made 1960s eyewear so distinctive and collectible today.
