The immortal masterpiece by Tart Optical,
the Arnel model, which needs no introduction.
This is the first time in about two years that we are offering
this rare Smoke Grey CB color.
With an iconic style so widely acclaimed that it has spawned countless replicas and copies,
it possesses a warmth of material texture unique to vintage eyewear
that cannot be replicated by modern production.
It is a crystallization of hand-crafted artisan skill,
featuring the exquisite horn-rimmed shape that protrudes on both sides,
finished with hand polishing.
Enjoy an authentic style and luxurious accent
that replicas and copies simply cannot capture.
Experience the craftsmanship from the days of "MADE IN USA,"
imbued with the American spirit.
This is the OG, the genuine article from the era.
*
A perfect, deadstock condition piece with no issues observed after over 50 years of storage;
no degradation or celluloid shrinkage.
The genuine Tart frame, which you can feel the moment you hold it,
establishes a true appeal that cannot be satisfied by
the many copies and replicas circulating today.
