Vintage MENRAD IT 369-71 Sunglasses
Made in Germany • Unworn • All Original • Collector Grad
A true vintage MENRAD piece showcasing the precision and restraint of German eyewear manufacturing. The IT-series frames were produced during a period when Menrad was exporting high-quality metal designs globally, prioritizing durability, balance, and clean architectural form.
This example remains unworn and completely original, an increasingly difficult condition to find for German-made frames of this era.
