Dior Glossy Gold Sunglasses
Dior Glossy celebrates its 5th anniversary in style with amber colored frames and 18k gold signature.
AN ICONIC DESIGN
In 2005, Dior launches the Dior Glossy inspired by 70s oversized shapes. With its extra-large lenses and curved frame in metallic colors, the Dior Glossy was instantly adopted by Sharon Stone, Charlize Theron and many other stars as their trademark, making it Dior’s best seller.
DIOR GOLD
A magic name which includes those of God and gold (Dieu and Or in French). This is how Jean Cocteau spoke of his friend Christian Dior in the 40s, predicting a great future for him. Connected to wealth and creation, gold has been subliming Dior’s creations from the very first collections.
OPTYL
Optyl is an exclusive material used in Dior’s sunglasses collections. Manufactured from a specific blend of resins, Optyl is a trademark registered by Safilo. With outstanding qualities: lightness, excellent finishes touches, an extraordinary range of colours and shape memory, it is genuinely a cutting-edge material.
