Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Vintage. Terri Brogan came to life in the 1970s as the Optyl group's way of showcasing its proprietary plastic, and the material's durability shows here decades later — still glossy, still holding its warm amber tone. The brand has since developed a devoted following among vintage collectors drawn to its classic aviator and oversized silhouettes, and this pair is a strong, honest example of that 1970s Optyl craftsmanship.
