The pinnacle of vintage eyewear:
Tart Optical.
Alongside the undisputed popularity of the "Arnel,"
this "FDR" stands as another pinnacle sought after
by vintage eyewear collectors worldwide.
Its overwhelming frame shape continues, more than half a century
since its inception, to impact eyewear design,
reigning as an "immortal masterpiece."
From the silver screen to private life, it has been cherished by
style leaders of the era, such as Hollywood treasure Gene Hackman,
legendary film director Ross Hunter, and Lady Gaga.
The shape of the horn rims protruding on both sides—something
replicas and copies cannot imitate—is a crystallization of
craftsmanship realized through hand-polishing by artisans of the time.
The deep, profound expression unique to original vintage acetate,
and the "luxurious sense of substance" produced by the thick front
that modern replicas and copies can never replicate,
bring an exceptional sense of superiority to those who own it.
Please enjoy the peak quality that the artisans of that era pursued.

Los Angeles, Studio City.
In a warehouse where movie props have been stored since the 1970s,
inside an eyewear storage case,
this single pair of Tart glasses was found among many frames for women.
With no issues in its preservation, it is a piece you can enjoy for years to come,
which is why we are pleased to introduce it.
It is a beautiful item in excellent condition,
with no deterioration or acetate thinning.
Once you hold it in your hands, you will realize that this authentic Tart frame
establishes a genuine charm that cannot be satisfied by the many
copies and replicas on the market.
