Jean Lempereur woodline multilayered aviator oversize sunglasses, NOS 80s handmade France

Jean Lempereur woodline aviator sunglasses with brown lenses made in France in natural wood colour and texture in the 1980s. Wooden construction made this piece a special statement of your personal style and yet lightweight and comfy for a long time wear. New and unworn from a deadstock, in mint condition. Early wooden frames, rare and made to the highest quality standards in a multilayered wood with flexible spring brass hinges to make them fit perfectly. Nowadays it is common, and some years ago even trendy to wear (and make) wooden shades, but back in time, making frames in wood was just the prerogative of a few artisanal, high-end luxury brands. While today they mostly use bamboo, at the time just rosewood, ebony, teak and bubinga were the woods of choice (and still are for serious wooden frames) for their lightness and strength.
