Lenses:

This pair features original Christian Dior lenses in a deep rose-pink tint with a subtle gradient finish.

These are the untouched factory lenses — no modifications or customizations have been made.

Design & Aesthetic Features:

The Dior New Volute is a standout in Dior’s late-century optical design history. It features:

• Architectural temple construction with signature “volute” hardware loops
• Sculptural cutout temples showcasing rose gold-tone alloy hardware
• Dior logo embossing on nose pads, bridge, and both temples
• Plum acetate temples crafted from Optyl for featherweight feel and shape memory
• Made in Austria — a hallmark of Dior’s premier eyewear craftsmanship before licensing shifted in the 2000s

Vintage Status & Archival Design Lineage:

This model is officially vintage, having been produced over two decades ago during Christian Dior’s late-1990s to early-2000s Austrian manufacturing era. Crafted from Optyl — a revolutionary, shape-retentive material used by Dior and other elite European brands beginning in the 1970s — this frame reflects a pivotal moment in Dior’s eyewear evolution.

The New Volute silhouette draws direct inspiration from Dior’s 1970s optical archive, reinterpreting the sculptural, space-age elements of that decade in a more refined, gold-accented aesthetic. Its dramatic, hollowed temple design and signature “volute” hardware loops are a modernized echo of earlier Dior styles, reimagined for the opulence and experimentation of the Y2K era.

Produced before the brand’s licensing transitioned to large conglomerates, this frame remains a testament to Dior’s innovation, independence, and enduring design identity. Unworn examples with full kits are incredibly rare, and this deadstock pair offers a chance to own a true piece of vintage fashion history, complete with its original packaging and authentication.

Collector Value & Pricing Justification:

This pair is priced at the upper tier for Dior eyewear — and rightly so.

• Dior vintage frames from this era are increasingly rare, especially in unworn, full-kit condition.
• No other known listings exist today for this 58EVC variant with original lenses and documentation.
• The frame’s Austrian manufacture, Optyl construction, and archival design lineage set it apart from modern reissues or remakes.
• Dior eyewear from this era predates the brand’s shift into mass licensing and maintains a level of craftsmanship that is no longer replicated.
• The design directly references 1970s Dior optical forms, making it highly desirable for both collectors and stylists focused on Y2K and retro-futurist fashion.

At over 20 years old, this piece is now considered true vintage, and this is one of the only known NOS examples with complete packaging.

This is not just eyewear — it’s a collector’s Dior archive acquisition, and we stand by the premium value.
