info

Optical Products Ltd used to be in East London and were

mainly known for making good quality optical frames,

particularly NHS frames after 1948. Here before the war,

they went fashion-forward with sunglasses which although

quite delicate, have managed to survive until now. OPL

specialised in plastics and it's nice to see an early example

of a moulded plastic design in sunglasses. This gives it a

futuristic, 'moderne' look and the colour being a translucent

pink lets the large, dark, flat lenses take centre stage. The

brows are high and arched, the bridge quite wide and the

arms long. They would fit larger faces and heads - and men

too. The glass lenses are in excellent condition - just don't

wear these all day in the bright sunshine as they don't offer

the full uv protection that is required these days. But let's

face it, these are more about style and drama in a fashion

accessory.
