Vintage Ray-Ban experts: are these 1960s/70s cat-eye sunglasses?
Hi everyone!
I’m trying to identify these sunglasses worn by Blanca Trueba in episode 5 of The House of the Spirits TV series, around minute 24.
They look like vintage-inspired cat-eye sunglasses, possibly Ray-Ban. The lenses are dark green, the frame looks like either very dark burgundy/plum or dark tortoiseshell, and there seems to be a small metal Ray-Ban-style detail on the temple.
I originally thought they might be Ray-Ban Nina, but the current Nina model seems to have thinner temples, while these look a bit chunkier and more vintage.
Does anyone know the exact model, brand, or year?
They may be vintage frames used by the costume department, possibly 1960s/early 1970s.
I’m trying to find them, or at least a very close match, as a gift for my girlfriend, who is a big fan of Isabel Allende’s novel, Blanca’s character, and South American culture.
Thanks a lot!
