vintage ray ban

The Mother told me that stacked platform sandals were all the rage in her teenage years. It seems that fashion is always recycling itself, but with modern twists added to the effect. Boho, shift dress, rocker-punk chick, Jackie-O glasses, aviator, lace and etc.

So I couldn't help but wonder, what's next?

I remember The Mother has a pair of vintage RayBan. Not the most flattering modern design of all, but it has great sentimental value to The Mother (I assume).

Hello! John-Lennon

I searched around the internet to ascertain the model of the sunglasses. Apparently this is 'Oval Gold
Metal Frame with Mirrored Black Diamond-Hard Scratch Resistant Bausch & Lomb Lenses - W1909'.
EDIT: Correct model is W0976.


The Mother agreed to lend it to me without hesitation but with one condition: Do Not Lose It. I could see where she's coming from.

I can't wait to try it out and take it to the streets, minus the cartoon-villain-looking part.
