Hervé Bernard 11784 Sunglasses-Snakeskin Temples-Hand Made-Unworn

Hervé Bernard Hand-Made Italy Sunglasses

Model 11784 · Color 16 PPV

Unworn / Deadstock · All Original · With Original Tag

Overview

A striking, true vintage Hervé Bernard sunglasses piece, handmade in Italy, presented here in unworn, deadstock condition with its original Amercati/SafeCast-UV tag still attached. This model exemplifies late-1970s to early-1980s Italian fashion eyewear—bold proportions, luxury detailing, and high-quality acetate construction.

The standout feature is the green snakeskin-embossed acetate temple overlay, accented by a gold “HB” logo, paired with original factory gradient lenses. A rare and highly collectible example from a lesser-seen Italian fashion house of the era.
