ERA / RELEVANCE

This frame is a wonderful example of late-1970s to early-1980s Italian eyewear design, when fashion shifted toward oversized silhouettes, lightweight translucent acetates, and streamlined one-piece aviator fronts. While brands like Persol, Carrera, and Lozza dominated the headlines, smaller Italian makers such as NISOL produced beautifully crafted frames in far smaller quantities. Today, surviving examples—especially in unworn collector’s condition—are becoming increasingly difficult to source.

WHY WE LOVE THEM

Some of the most rewarding vintage discoveries aren’t the household names—they’re the brands that quietly produced exceptional designs and disappeared. This NISOL is exactly that. The proportions are timeless, the translucent espresso acetate is unmistakably Italian, and the oversized aviator silhouette feels just as current today as it did over forty years ago. Finding one preserved in collector’s condition makes it an exceptional piece for both collectors and everyday wear.
