Vintage Afflelou tortoise shell retro France optical frame glasses

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pair of Afflelou glasses features a round frame, typical of the retro style inspired by past decades. The visible front reveals a dark tortoiseshell pattern, alternating brown and amber shades, a highly sought-after characteristic for its timeless and elegant appearance. The lenses are transparent and set in a full-rim frame, highlighting the classic quality of this optical accessory.

The upper bridge is doubled with a thin blue bar, adding an original and contemporary touch to the whole. The visible temples are also dark in color, with bluish reflections and a smooth finish, extending from the hinge to the tip. The hinges are visible on the front, with discreet and neat fastening.

The entire frame showcases a contrast between the tortoiseshell effect and the blue insert of the bridge, a visual signature that distinguishes this model from classic glasses. No logo or marking is clearly visible on the outer face of the frame in this image, but the Afflelou identity is mentioned in the keywords.

The round shape of the lenses, combined with the tortoiseshell finish, evokes a vintage design inspired by French models from the 70s to 90s, while remaining timeless and suitable for many face shapes. The frame appears light and comfortable, with an elegant and sober look.

The visible details, such as the quality of the rim, the finish of the temples, and the bridge joint, demonstrate meticulous manufacturing, true to the reputation of French opticians and the Afflelou brand.
