These vintage, limited edition Matsuda sunglasses are a riff on the highly prized terminator style. Made in Japan during the 1980s of finely detailed, antique bronze, titanium and dark orange acetate. AC-XJ. 44.22.125. They are preowned, but have been well cared for and are in good condition. They were purchased in Rome and I understand they were not available in the United States at the time of purchase. Definitely for a risk taker and someone who doesn’t mind being noticed. Side pieces are removable, but they are great when you’re driving on a sunny day. They sell for more than their original cost on other sites as they have now become collector’s pieces. Matsuda frames are made from the finest metals, alloys, and acetate in the world - each material is chosen based on its unique properties that make it ideal for specific components. Some pieces need to be malleable (a nose pad arm that needs to be adjusted). Each design is crafted by hand in the renowned eyewear workshops of Sabae, Japan - requiring up to two years and as many as 250 steps to bring to life. This is eyewear created through 50 years of experimentation and creative exploration: each frame reflecting a unique journey from concept to construction
