Diego - Tortoise - Specs

£135.00

Color: Tortoise

Diego is a bold, vintage-inspired frame reworked from 60s Safety Series sunglasses into a refined, modern silhouette.

All Oscar Deen frames are made from Mazzucchelli acetate. They're Italian and have been top of the game since 1849. While our lenses are made from organic plastic. A combination of light-weight and optical clarity

We weren’t about to spend all this time creating bespoke frames to then dash them in some off the shelf case.

The OD case is made in collaboration with London based leather artisan and mate, Otis Ingrams.

Each one is hand made from 2 pieces of recycled composite leather, 4 brass rivets and one brass stud.

Rediscover
Born in the ’60s, during the rise of the Safety Series - the same wave that gave us icons like the Wayfarer and Clubmaster. Back then, names like American Optical and Norton ruled the scene. The brands may have faded, but the silhouettes? Still stealing glances.

Revive
We tracked this one to Naples - loud, fast, full of charm (and mopeds). Found it in a cluttered back-alley shop run by Paulo, who we accidentally woke from a nap. He wasn’t thrilled. Still sold us the frames.

ReframeWe kept the strong American browline, then gave it a European upgrade - crowned the top, dropped the lugs, softened the edges. 60s grit, with a touch of class.
