The timeless masterpiece, the Arnel model,
favored by James Dean and now Johnny Depp.
Its iconic style is so popular that many replicas and copies exist,
but they cannot replicate the warmth of the material,
the hand-polished finish, and the exquisite shape
of the horn-rims protruding on both sides—
all of which are the culmination of expert craftsmanship.
A miraculous deadstock find that has remained dormant
since its creation half a century ago, in perfect condition.
Enjoy this luxurious accent.
Experience the workmanship of a time when "MADE IN USA"
truly embodied the American spirit.
This is the OG, the genuine article from back in the day.

cannot compare to their authentic charm.
