Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

The sculpted temples are the centerpiece: Dior’s recognizable Cannage pattern translated into dimensional Optyl, finished with bold gold-tone CD emblems.

Cannage draws on the woven seats of the Napoleon III chairs used in Christian Dior’s historic couture salons. Here, that house signature gives the frame a connection to Dior’s broader design heritage.

The Austrian-made CD 2005 combines expressive proportions with detailed construction. Warm tortoise coloration and new custom gradient lenses make this a distinctive vintage Dior pair for everyday wear or a considered collection.
