An original Wellington frame featuring
Tart's signature style and horn-rims.
The Regency line, established by Tart in the 70s,
was produced using the same models as Tart's primary line.
Therefore, the details and sizing are identical to early-era Tart pieces,
and every process, including material production,
was done by hand in the USA.
As a result, you can experience the same high-end quality
that characterized Tart's original period.
The Bryan, an iconic mid-century style
beloved by the Beatniks.
It is so popular that many replicas and copies exist,
but this iconic style is a crystallization of artisanal craftsmanship,
featuring period-specific materials and hand-polishing
that cannot be replicated by current manufacturing.
Please enjoy the details only found in the original vintage pieces,
such as the pronounced horn-rim shape protruding from the sides
and the warm texture of the material—
elements impossible to recreate with modern technology.

after half a century of preservation.
Enjoy this timeless masterpiece that does more than just look simple—
it captivates all who wear it.
This is the OG, the genuine article from back in the day.
The real Tart frame, which you can feel the moment you hold it,
establishes an authentic allure that can never be satisfied
by the many copies and replicas on the market.
