Always at the forefront of fashion, Elvis was eager to acquire a pair of the new stylish and futuristic ‘wrap-around’ Renauld sunglasses that had just been launched. It was during the filming of the movie Follow That Dream down in Ocala, Florida, when he spotted someone wearing them in the crowd of autograph hunters that had gathered. His assistant ended up paying $100 on the spot for Elvis’ first pair of Renaulds, and he allegedly wore them all the time when he wasn’t filming.
The Renauld sunglasses that Elvis wore on the set of Follow That Dream were sold at auction in 2017, fetching $9,500. These are NOT Elvis's sunglasses!
Size & Condition:
The glasses have chrome frame and green lenses, measuring 5-1/8” wide at the temples, 1-3/4” tall at the lenses. There are no signs of heavy wear. There is an approximately 1mm scuff mark on each lens – virtually invisible unless held up to strong light. The lenses have no other scratches or blemishes. Very Good to Excellent Condition.
