70s/80s Vintage Nova Cat Eye Eyeglasses Frame France$150.00
Brand: Emmanuelle Khanh x Gemini
Style/Model: Nova
Material: Acetate
Colorway: Smoke
Place of Origin: Handmade, France
Stated/Approx. frame size: 54/19/135
A hard to locate frame from the EK x Gemini collaboration era. The Nova takes on a refreshingly different reverse cateye almond shape and subtle etched frame face details that catch the light, all dolled up in the colorway "Smoke", stamped on the left earpiece and unusual as these colorways were usually represented by numbers.
Gently pre-owned frame in fantastic vintage condition.
Frame: Colors pop. No bite marks/pitting on earpieces/nosepads, no deep scratches. One imperceptible scuff on the top of the right brow, but you really need to hold the frame under a light to even see it. Wearability is not affected.
Hardware: Five-barrel hinges sit tight, logo temple insets are intact.
Lenses: Frames only.
Note these frames are at least 30 years old, and it is typical to require slight adjustments on any frame to fit any individual closer to perfect, handled by your eyecare professional.
Measurements in inches. Note that a size imprinted on a given frame may not necessarily match with the actual measurements.
See diagram in the last listing photo. Please compare measurements against a pair of your favorite spex.
