The Arnel model, a timeless masterpiece by Tart Optical
favored by James Dean and, today, Johnny Depp.
This iconic style, so popular that countless replicas and
copies are in circulation, possesses a warmth in its material
that can never be replicated in modern versions.
Above all, the exquisite horn-rim shape protruding from both sides,
sculpted through hand-polishing and defining the overall look,
is the pinnacle of artisan craftsmanship.
*A miraculous deadstock find that has remained dormant
for half a century, preserved in impeccable condition.
Please enjoy the craftsmanship from the days of MADE IN USA,
when the American spirit truly thrived.
This is the OG, the authentic original from that era.
*Includes the paper sleeve with the OTE stamp
confirming its authenticity as made in the USA.
A genuine Tart frame that you can feel the moment you hold it,
establishing an authentic charm that cannot be satisfied
by the many copies and replicas on the market.
