Nouvelle Vague Donna 48 vintage ladies sunglasses
Nouvelle Vague Eyewear was founded by Italian designer and entrepreneur Vittorio Mazzucconi in the early 1980s. Mazzucconi established the brand with a focus on crafting high-quality, vintage-inspired eyewear that combines classic aesthetics with contemporary design. The brand draws inspiration from the elegance and style of the French New Wave (Nouvelle Vague) cinema movement, despite its Italian origins. The brand quickly became known for its stylish, high-quality frames that echoed the elegance of classic cinema while appealing to contemporary fashion sensibilities.
We are proud to present this stunning eyewear piece that features a bold black acetate frame designed in the iconic winged shape, complemented by a luxurious gold and black upper part of the frame. Crafted in Italy during the 1980s, it exemplifies a standout moment in eyewear history with its distinctive and daring design. This frame not only represents a significant era in fashion but also offers a unique, statement-making addition to any eyewear collection.

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.
We've also included a size guide in the glasses description to assist your selection.
