Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Vintage. The Hex-O captures the expressive geometry of mid-century American Optical eyewear: a strong hexagonal shape in richly striped acetate, from the era of AO's Sunvogues line. The interplay of amber, brown, and green gives the frame depth and character, making it a distinctive piece of American optical history.
