An original Wellington frame featuring Tart's unique style and horn-rimmed design.
The Regency line, established by Tart in the 70s, was produced using the same molds as the original Tart models, ensuring that the details and sizing remained identical to earlier production periods. Every step of the process, including acetate production, was carried out by hand in the USA.
As a result, you can experience the same high-end quality as the Tart frames from that era.
The Bryan is a symbol of the mid-century era, loved by the Beatniks.
This iconic style, so popular that it has spawned numerous replicas and copies, is a crystallization of manual craftsmanship realized through hand-polishing—a level of detail that cannot be replicated by current models.
Please enjoy the details unique to the original pieces from that time, such as the pronounced horn-rimmed shape that protrudes on both sides—something impossible to replicate with today's technology—and the warm, authentic feel of the acetate.

A miraculous deadstock piece that has been resting since its creation half a century ago, with no issues in its state of preservation.
Please enjoy this timeless masterpiece that does more than just look simple; it captivates all who wear it.
Once you hold these real Tart frames in your hands, you will realize that they possess an authentic charm that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
