info Servin, founded by Don Pedro Robles Vicente who also used some of the best designers, were probably the greatest name in sunglasses from Spain in the 1960s and 70s. This country with its sunny climate, endless coastline, growing economy and holiday industry after WW2 nurtured quite a few designer-makers, and Servin were alongside manufacturers like Indo, Garvi and Barbudo. They were also part of the 'Spanish Miracle' (1959-1974) when the economy boomed - second only to Japan, and Servin were flourishing by the mid-1960s in Madrid. The proximity of France and Italy must also have been a part of that success with their unique European optical heritages - such influence and influx also probably meant exports. In fashion, Spanish couturiers like Balenciaga, Castillo, Pertegaz and Rabanne were internationally renowned. This Servin design is called Veronique - perhaps after Veronique Sanson who was popular at the time. The acetate is beautiful quality and semi-translucent which does not look heavy on the face - the mid-tint mineral glass lenses also let the eyes show through. Superlatives only for the construction with 5-charnier joints, pinned front and sides, and the acetate glowing with smokey tones through pink, blue and grey. — klasik |
