Dior Vintage 2289 Rimless Optyl Frames
These vintage Christian Dior model 2289 43 frames represent the height of 1980s Austrian eyewear engineering. Utilizing Optyl, a lightweight, hypoallergenic thermo-plastic patented by Wilhelm Anger, these frames offer superior dimensional stability and a "memory effect" that maintains fit better than standard acetate. The minimalist rimless architecture is reinforced by tiered gold-tone bridge and end-piece supports, characteristic of Diorâs luxury mid-century evolution. Marked "Frame Austria," these 61-16 sized frames serve as a high-end canvas for custom optical or sunglass lenses. Please refer to photos for specific condition.
