The immortal masterpiece of Tart eyewear,
beloved by James Dean and now Johnny Depp,
the Arnel model.
This is the authentic original from the era.
The same model worn by Mort Rainey,
played by Johnny Depp, in the movie "Secret Window."
In fact, Brown Smoke is a rare color so extremely limited in supply
that it is considered to have fewer surviving pieces
than the Amber color.
Proof of the high-quality material from the era, which shows no issues
even after more than half a century of storage,
this is a pristine deadstock piece with no shrinkage of the celluloid.
A truly rare item that will be nearly impossible to restock in the future.
If this size fits you, don't miss it!
*
A miraculous deadstock piece with perfect storage condition.
One item that was mixed into a sleeve labeled 42/24 at the factory,
The real Tart frame you can feel once in your hands
establishes an authentic texture and charm
that cannot be satisfied by the many copies and replicas on the market.
