VINTAGE COLLECTOR HIGHLIGHTS
Early Chrome Hearts eyewear represents some of the finest luxury eyewear ever produced. Handcrafted in Japan using premium materials and traditional manufacturing techniques, vintage Chrome Hearts frames were built in relatively small quantities and have become increasingly difficult to source—especially in unworn condition.
The TOPPS is one of Chrome Hearts’ rarer rimless designs, combining genuine wood temples with handcrafted sterling silver hardware and original Japanese-made Inui lenses. Unlike modern mass-produced luxury eyewear, every detail reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that established Chrome Hearts as one of the most respected names in collectible eyewear.
Finding an unworn vintage example retaining its original Inui Japan lenses and original Chrome Hearts case is exceptionally uncommon, making this a true collector’s piece.
FRAME DETAILS
- Rare rimless rectangular design
- Genuine polished wood temples

Chrome Hearts has long been recognized for blending traditional Japanese eyewear craftsmanship with fine jewelry manufacturing. Rather than relying solely on decorative branding, the company incorporates genuine precious metals, natural materials, and hand-finished construction throughout its eyewear collections.
The warm natural wood temples provide a striking contrast against the polished sterling silver hardware, creating one of the brand’s most elegant and understated vintage designs.
