Era / Relevance

• Relevance: This model reflects the Y2K aesthetic making a major comeback today, with translucent frames and gradient lenses considered iconic.

Condition 

• Preowned.
• Frame: Shows some gentle wear and faint discoloration, especially around the bridge. The transparent champagne acetate retains its clarity but reflects natural patina from age.
