Imago Neptun 90s vintage sunglasses
Imago Eyewear was founded by Michael Vohs in 1990 in Germany and has is known for its creative, avant-garde designs and high-quality craftsmanship. From the start, Imago focused on producing bold, expressive eyewear that pushes the boundaries of traditional eyewear fashion. The brand emphasizes individuality and artistic style, appealing to those seeking unique and daring frames.
Imago Eyewear was produced in Germany, aligning with the country’s strong reputation for precision and quality craftsmanship. Their frames are made using premium materials like lightweight metals and high-grade acetate, ensuring both durability and comfort. Each frame showcases innovative designs that make Imago a standout brand for those who appreciate eyewear that combines artistry and functionality.
This IMAGO Neptun model is a striking example of the brand’s innovative approach to eyewear design. This frame, from the late 1990s, features a round nickel-sealed frame, which refers to the protective nickel plating that enhances the durability and longevity of the metal, while also giving it a polished and sleek appearance. The nickel-sealing process protects the metal from corrosion and wear, ensuring the frame maintains its quality over time.
The green sun lenses offer a stylish look while providing 100% UV protection, making this model not only visually appealing but also functional. These lenses can be replaced with prescription lenses if desired, offering flexibility for everyday use. Crafted in Italy, the Neptun frame embodies both Italian craftsmanship and IMAGO's avant-garde design philosophy, making it a true vintage rarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
