  • Straight out of 1967's summer of love, search any photo

    from that year and you'll find (young) men and women

    wearing this iconic mod shape in a plastic frame. And if

    you are lucky enough to find a photo in colour, the frames

    will possibly be in a day-glo colour like our one. This is a

    quality frame, not a throw-away: the hinges are pinned

    through front and sides with star pin heads, the lenses are

    ground and polished glass with full uv protection at 400nm

    - this was your up-market hippy. Not many of these have

    survived, most were probably trashed at Woodstock or the

    Isle of Wight. Gender neutral and ready for another trippy

    time.
