The Arnel, Tart's timeless masterpiece,
beloved by James Dean and now by Johnny Depp.

Boasting a popularity that has led to countless replicas and copies,
its iconic style possesses a warmth in the material
that modern models can never replicate.
Above all, the exquisite shape of the horn-rims
protruding from both sides, sculpted through hand-polishing,
is a crystalline work of craftsmanship
that defines the look of the entire piece.


*A miraculous deadstock find that has remained
in perfect condition, having been tucked away since it was made half a century ago.
Enjoy this luxurious accent.

Experience the craftsmanship from back when
MADE IN USA meant it carried the American spirit.
This is the OG, the genuine article from the era.



*Made in USA, with the OTE hallmark that proves its authenticity.
Includes the original paper sleeve
bearing the New York address.


Once in your hands, you will realize that this real Tart frame
establishes a level of authentic appeal
that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.

*A staff member who usually wears a 46/22 in the Arnel
tried on this 44/20 size,
and found it to be a perfectly wearable fit.
