Relevance & Legacy:

The ULTRA SUVALU stands as a rare example of West German luxury eyewear from the late 1970s to early 1980s—a time when bold, oversized styles dominated high fashion and celebrity culture. ULTRA frames were known for their combination of sculptural forms and intricate metal detailing, often worn by stylists and entertainers seeking standout accessories. 

This specific model, with its gold-core temple arms and rhinestone embellishments, reflects the brand’s dedication to maximalism and excess. Today, ULTRA frames have become highly collectible—most notably the ULTRA Goliath, worn by artists like Run DMC and Nas. While SUVALU models are less frequently seen, they carry the same craftsmanship and legacy, making them a perfect choice for collectors, stylists, or anyone with a love for vintage eyewear that tells a story.
