An exceptional boutique French design featuring a sculpted crystal acetate front, faceted architectural lines, gold-tone bridge and hardware, and beautifully laminated teal and frosted acetate temples with an exposed gold core. The layered construction and refined craftsmanship are hallmarks of Claudia Carlotti’s distinctive independent eyewear from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Claudia Carlotti produced some of the most distinctive independent French eyewear of the late 1980s. Rather than relying on oversized branding, the company focused on sculptural acetate, bold architectural forms, intricate lamination, and exceptional handmade craftsmanship.

The Napoli CC19 embodies that philosophy perfectly. The faceted crystal front, layered translucent temples, exposed gold core wire, and elegant proportions create a design that feels both futuristic and timeless. The scarcity of this model only adds to its appeal, making it an exceptional piece for collectors and enthusiasts of boutique European eyewear.

Finished with custom sapphire blue gradient lenses by Second Chance Customs, this rare vintage frame is elevated into a truly unique modern classic.
