Order these exclusive vintage style frames now and own a piece of fashion history!
We have been hard at work to re-create a truly exceptional pair of vintage cat eye glasses, once owned as sunglasses by the iconic female Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Frida's sunglasses in the Frida Kahlo Museum, Mexico
The original frames featured in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 2018 exhibition: Frida Kahlo - Making Her Self Up.
These large, classic, mid-20th century, cat eye frames, make an uncompromising, bold and stylish statement. Available in gold crystal and matt gold they are hand made from high quality acetate and are officially licensed from the Frida Kahlo Corporation.
They are being produced as a limited edition of 500 pieces so not just a pair of very wearable glasses, but also a collectible piece of contemporary art.
Each pair will come with a floral folding case inspired by the artist’s work and Mexican heritage (choose from the Fuchsia or Marigold designs), a matching polishing cloth, together with an individually numbered certificate.
These cases can also be bought separately.

FRIDA KAHLO DE RIVERA (1907-1954) was a Mexican artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artefacts of Mexico. She employed a naïve folk-art style to explore questions of identity, post-colonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Frida is celebrated in around the world for her depiction of the female experience and form as well as her love of nature.
