info This early vintage Ray-Ban shows off B&L's superlative craftsmanship. Not only did they make the best lenses in the world, they put them in frames like this one. The green and white layered plastic - the colour at the time was called Greenglo - has been carved into sloping arcs across the brow and then cut away at an angle at the sides. The effect is like the frills of a petticoat. Unusually, the Zanzibar was always paired with plain black temples, perhaps not wanting to compete with the front. It was launched in 1956 as this was when it first appeared in an ad, alongside the men's Signet - see above - so this is almost their 70th anniversary.....His and Hers for Xmas? — klasik |
