Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

German-made Dior Optyl frames represent one of the finest periods in luxury eyewear manufacturing. Lightweight yet incredibly durable, Optyl allowed Dior to create bold sculptural designs that became synonymous with late-70s and early-80s fashion. The 2498 is a wonderful example of that era, retaining its original factory lenses and factory finish—something becoming increasingly difficult to find in true deadstock condition
