Vintage Chanel 1993 Archive Black Matelassé Quilted CC Logo Square Sunglasses

This authentic vintage Chanel eyewear represents one of the most recognizable, highly documented, and globally coveted accessories from the golden era of 1990s logomania. Masterfully crafted during the height of Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure, the substantial full-rim rectangular silhouette is molded from premium, high-density black acetate (Color Code 94305). The clean retro square face frame curves smoothly into an integrated comfort bridge and deep solid dark grey lenses engineered to filter ambient light with timeless dramatic style. 

The defining hallmark blueprint of this archival masterpiece tracks along the ultra-wide temple arms. The side panels are intricately cast with the maison’s legendary, texturized Matelassé diamond quilted grid pattern, creating exquisite three-dimensional texture profile reflections along the jawline. 

The temples serve as an elegant canvas for a pair of high-relief, mirror-polished yellow gold-plated interlocking CC initial emblems that declare an unmistakable signature brand presence. 

The reverse inner architecture displays immaculate hallmarks, showcasing heavy-duty 5-barrel golden metal hinges secured by dual screw plates. Tucked inside its original matching black quilted hard leather case accented by a secondary silver tone metal CC emblem, this archival treasure bridges the gap between classic hip-hop culture heritage and high-fashion streetwear prestige.
