Bugatti was the first car
manufacturer to take over the eyewear market, recognizing them as an
essential part of luxury accessories. Back in the late 1960s, Bugatti
developed the first eyewear designs that were as unique and quality as
the Bugatti sports car.
Bugatti's teardrop shape has become the
trademark of all frames and sunglasses. In doing so, Bugatti has focused
on the shape of the radiator of luxury cars, which is always facing
down. This distinctive glass shape of all Bugatti frames was designed
exclusively for male customers and even seemed sad on some faces.
This
is why opticians often refer to old Bugatti glasses as "teardrop"
glasses. But although the Bugatti collection consisted exclusively of
men's glasses, and the design remained almost unchanged over the
decades, the "tear shape" sold extremely successfully. Even female
customers enjoyed this original shape and turned men's glasses into
women's glasses.
However, the fact that Bugatti has always stayed
true to its design is not the only reason for the success of these
vintage sunglasses. Bugatti has also managed to combine the unique
advantages of form with outstanding quality and original design details.
