Vintage Fendi Cat-Eye Sunglasses Tortoiseshell Gold c. Early 1990s

Angular tortoiseshell acetate frames sweep into a sharply upswept cat-eye, punctuated at each temple by a gold-tone medallion with radiating lines — a hardware detail found on Fendi eyewear from the early to mid-1990s, when the house’s Roman studios were under Karl Lagerfeld’s creative direction. The absence of visible logos on the exterior keeps the focus on the sculpted form and the play between mottled acetate and gleaming hardware.

Wide arms taper gently at the ends, with the inner left arm marked 'B FENDI' and 'MADE IN ITALY' in white serif lettering, matching the period’s signature labelling. Fitted with grey lenses, the sunglasses show only minor surface wear along the temples. No case or accessories are included.
