Christian Dior 2598 – Tortoise Avant-Garde with Wire Detail | 1990s

This Christian Dior model 2598 is a rare and striking example of the house's experimental design period in the 1990s. The frame is crafted from Optyl, a lightweight, hypoallergenic, and durable material that Dior pioneered for its high-end eyewear. It features a vibrant honey-toned tortoise finish and a unique, ultra-thin gold-tone metal wire that runs across the top of the frame, adding a structural, high-fashion edge.
