Film noir is a sub cathegory of the thriller movies, developed in the U.S during the ‘40s and ‘50s. The main characteristics of this genre are the investigation and the location in a city; we can find also strong contrasts between light and dark, which represent the conflict between good and evil. The characters are usually dark and disquieting figures. Diabolic couples, femmes fatales and assassins in search of conquest. In the noir each character wants to let its evil prevail. Private detectives, reporters and authors are in contrast with them; they narrate these events and get involved themselves.

It is a 100% biocompatible frame – hypoallergenic and nickel-free.

Truly a work of optical Art, a frame that is unique in its design, a super trendy look for the wearer that likes to stand out in the crowd, at the same time a most collectible pair of specs that will certainly bring substantial value to any collection.

Note: We will replace the nose-pads with new ones if needed, also, the temple stems can be easily reshaped at the optician during the lens replacement.
