VS3712: Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier 56-0174 sunglasses c 1991 are one of the most recognizable of all extraordinary JPG designs, an icon of rap and hip hop music and worn by Tupac Shakur (2Pac), Ethan Hawke, 2Chainz, A$AP Rocky, Samuel L. Jackson and other celebrities over the years. The extremely rare 56-0174 is probably the most iconic frame ever produced by Jean Paul Gaultier, and the front features a unique bolt-and-screw double bridge mounted on two triangles. The craftsmanship on the temples is truly state-of-the-art. Tell Me More

VS3751: Vintage Vienna Line 1378 45 sunglasses feature a beautiful gold plated frame with blue enamal highlights, and what looks better with that great frame and lens combo than matching blue Vienna Line lenses. The Vienna Line brand was founded in the 1950s by Austrian Wilhelm Anger, former founder of Carrera and the inventor of innovative lens material Optyl. Anger had the line designed by Udo Proksch, a brilliant and prolific eyewear designer who had already worked for Carrera. Tell Me More

VS3801: Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier 55-6111 sunglasses feature all the intricate craftsmanship and design whimsy original Gaultier sunglasses from the 1990s were known for, a complex and beautifully manufactured brushed gold frame with dozens of subtle but very hard to produce design flourishes throughout. Pinpoint etching, curves, and coils immediately draw the eye to numerous areas of the front frame and ear stems, and nothing goes better with the brushed gold plating than the original blue JPG lenses.

VS3836: Vintage American Optical steampunk goggles started life as safety goggles but today are worn mostly as motorcycle and open air goggles with one of the most striking and eye catching looks you'll ever see in vintage fashion. The always sought after side blinkers rotate inward to permit the glasses to fold up. These vintage AO steampunk goggles c 1940s were made in the years around World War II when Bausch & Lomb contracted with American Optical to help them produce their goggles given the war production demands.
