Luxury designer sunglasses and optical frames like the famous “Cartier Santos” model

The history of vintage Cartier glasses began in 1847 when the goldsmith Louis Cartier laid the foundation for the company; it ended in 1997 when the CARTIER brand was sold to the Switzerland-based Richemont luxury goods group. In the years between, there were times steeped in history and historical events, which we describe in detail here: The Cartier eyewear history

Lunettes Collection

The eyewear of the Cartier Lunettes Collection in 1983 completed the French jeweler’s range of luxury accessories.

Cartier’s “Vendome Santos” men's glasses, the first Cartier eyewear model, were so successful that the Lunettes Collection launched a wide variety of luxury glasses over the years in different variations.

These include the “Demi Lune” gold-plated reading glasses, the “Diabolo” ladies' sunglasses, the men's “Tank” luxury glasses, the “Vitesse” aviator sunglasses, the “Malmaison” wooden glasses, the “Madison” rimless glasses, the “Saphir” jewel glasses, the “Romance” ladies' frame, the “St. Honoré” oval unisex glasses or also the “Panthere” men's sunglasses.

The variety of Cartier models made the Lunettes Collection CARTIER's best-selling accessory.

James Bond and the Cartier Santos

Had Christopher Walken not worn the Cartier Vendome Santos glasses in the 1985 James Bond film “A View to Kill”, who knows whether this success would ever have been achieved? Since then, the Cartier Vendome Santos sunglasses have also been called James Bond glasses, which has certainly not harmed the image of these vintage luxury glasses.

This brand embodies luxury pure and stands for exclusiveness, precious jewelry, and pricey accessories. So it is natural that the list of prominent Cartier lovers is endless. You find "Cartier Vendome Santos", the most famous Cartier model of the 80s, with all its original accessories here in this category.
