These are the Da Vinci 118 by Sunglass Originals -- handmade in Hong Kong, from the early 1980s. Authentic vintage, not a reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 118 is one of Sunglass Originals' most recognizable designs -- a bold, oversized flat-top silhouette in the avant-garde street fashion tradition of the era. Gloss black cellulose acetate with a vivid red accent strip along the lower frame, a marbled horn inlay at the upper corners, and gradient gray lenses dark at the top fading lighter at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hand Made stamp means exactly that -- these frames were individually cut from flat sheets of high-grade acetate, hand-shrunk, and polished by hand to a deep gloss finish you cannot replicate at scale. Hong Kong in this era was home to elite boutique optical factories producing handcrafted frames for respected American and European fashion brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll markings crisp and intact. Both temples carry the original yellow oval Sunglass Originals logo medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003e- Brand: Da Vinci by Sunglass Originals\u003cbr\u003e- Model: 118\u003cbr\u003e- Origin: Handmade in Hong Kong\u003cbr\u003e- Era: Early 1980s\u003cbr\u003e- Style: Oversized flat-top\u003cbr\u003e- Frame: Hand-cut gloss black cellulose acetate, red and orange lower accent strip\u003cbr\u003e- Detail: Marbled horn inlay at upper frame corners\u003cbr\u003e- Lenses: Gradient gray, dark at top, lighter at bottom\u003cbr\u003e- Temple: Yellow oval Sunglass Originals logo medallion, both arms\u003cbr\u003e- Accessories: None, no case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very good vintage condition.
