Missoni M181 80s vintage glasses
Missoni eyewear, like the fashion house itself, is known for its vibrant and artistic designs. Established in the 1950s by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni, the brand quickly became famous for its iconic zigzag patterns, colorful knitwear, and bold use of color.

Missoni glasses stand out for their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and trend-forward appeal, appealing to those looking for distinctive fashion-forward eyewear.
The eyewear collections are produced in collaboration with manufacturers specializing in luxury frames, allowing Missoni to maintain its high standard of quality across the board.

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.
