Vintage Dior Oversized Sunglasses Amber Brown c. Late 1970s

Wide amber-toned plastic frames curve into a squared silhouette, their edges thick and softly contoured in the language of late-1970s eyewear. Brown gradient lenses are set flush into the front, with silver-tone oval hardware at each arm engraved with a black 'CD' monogram — a subtle signature sitting just above the hinge.

The construction is substantial but balanced, with a gentle weight in hand. Silver-tone hinge hardware connects the arms, which taper to rounded tips. No overt logo marks the exterior; inside, a faintly embossed 'Dior' in serif font runs along the arm. The original hard case, lined in velour and stamped 'Christian Dior PARIS' in a double oval border, is included. Lenses show minor surface scratches; prescription strength unknown.

Produced under Christian Dior’s licensed eyewear line during the Marc Bohan era, these sunglasses date to circa late 1970s–early 1980s. The sculpted amber frames and black-on-silver CD hardware reflect Bohan’s precise, diplomatic approach — the quiet confidence of a house dressing embassy dinners and private salons, never needing to shout.
