The timeless masterpiece Arnel model by Tart,
loved by James Dean and now Johnny Depp.
So popular that many replicas and copies exist,
this iconic style features a warmth in the material
that cannot be replicated by modern models.
Above all, the exquisite horn-rimmed shape
protruding on both sides, meticulously formed
by hand-polishing, defines the overall look—
a crystallization of artisanal hand-craftsmanship.
*A miraculous deadstock piece that has been
preserved for half a century.
Enjoy this luxurious accent piece.
Experience the craftsmanship from back when
MADE IN USA meant American spirit.
This is the OG, the original from that era.
*
An incomparable, pristine item that you will treasure for years to come.
Includes the original paper sleeve with the NY address.
The real Tart frame, which you can feel the moment you hold it,
establishes a genuine charm that cannot be satisfied
by the many copies and replicas on the market.
