Alain Mikli A.M 88 700 100 Crystal Clear Rectangle Sunglasses-Custom Dark Grey Gradient Lenses-Unworn-France
Condition
Deadstock / Unworn. The frame has never been worn and presents as new, with clear, unclouded acetate and tight hinges. Lenses have been newly fitted by our in-house team (see Lenses).
Frame Details
A clean rectangular front cut in crystal-clear acetate, carrying the faintest blush at the rims where the material thickens. A small notched detail at the brow line, just inside the bridge, gives the otherwise spare silhouette a quiet signature. The straight temples reveal their embedded metal core wire through the clear acetate, so the construction itself becomes part of the design.

Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance
Vintage. Alain Mikli founded his house in 1978 and became one of the defining voices of French eyewear, known for provocative shapes and exclusive acetate colorways. This A.M 88 series frame shows the quieter side of that vocabulary: a pared-back rectangle in crystal acetate, where the notched brow and the visible core wire do the talking. Unworn vintage Mikli in clear acetate, with no yellowing, is increasingly difficult to find.

Notes
Markings are taken from the temple engraving (© A.M 88 700 100). The reading of 700 as the model and 100 as the color code follows the marking pattern of comparable Alain Mikli frames and is unverified against manufacturer documentation, as are the frame material, country of manufacture, and production date. No size markings are present on the frame. The lenses are a custom in-house installation and are not original to the frame. The case style may vary from the one shown.
