Details
The Charmant 4248 is an 1980s Japanese frame with a broad rounded-square silhouette, slim metal bridge, and deep blue lenses. Its dark blue-toned construction and restrained metal detailing give the frame a distinctly period character, while the newly fitted lenses provide a clean contemporary refinement.

The company expanded internationally throughout the 20th century and produced frames across a range of styles, from understated opticals to expressive fashion-forward designs. Vintage Charmant frames, particularly from the 1970s–90s, reflect Japan’s growing influence on global eyewear through lightweight construction, refined detailing, and experimental shapes.
