Help me find these sunglasses

June 14, 2009 4:06 AM

Help me identify these sunglasses. I bought them in a thrift shop and wore every day for two glorious years before loosing them. There was no brand name. The frame is black with yellow specks, the lenses are yellow. I need to find either the same or similar pair. Unfortunately, most yellow lens sunglasses are made for cycling while these were sleek and elegant. Please help.

From the hinge (and, to a lesser extent, the shape of the lenses), I think they are Persol sunglasses.

Oh, and "night driving" glasses are also yellow, as are some designed for motorcycle riding.

Not identical to what you depicted, but in a similar vein are Ryders Eyewear. Many of their products have the yellow tint, and I find their styles to be a bit more fashion-y and less eXtremE! fItneSS!-y.

You can get a pair of regular glasses tinted yellow. There might be something similar at one of the discount eyeglasses websites (the glassyeyes.blogspot.com has links.)
