Rodenstock Canaria 70s vintage ladies sunglasses
Rodenstock was founded in 1877 by Josef Rodenstock in Würzburg, Germany. The brand has a remarkable legacy of over a century, showcasing a commitment to precision optics. The brand has been a pioneer in the eyewear industry, known for introducing innovative technologies. They were among the first to develop lightweight plastic lenses and anti-reflective coatings.
Rodenstock supplied sunglasses for the astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission, marking the first moon landing in 1969. The sunglasses helped protect astronauts' eyes from the intense glare of outer space.
Rodenstock has received numerous awards for its innovative designs. The brand combines functionality with fashion, creating eyewear that is not only technically advanced but also stylish.
We are proud to present this 1970s masterpiece from Rodenstock, crafted in Germany, featuring a greenish milky white acetate frame complemented by the original brown mineral lenses.

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.
