The Carlo Alberto 2002 captures the bold, architectural character of 1980s Italian eyewear design. Its oversized rectangular silhouette features a strong, straight brow, softly angled corners, and distinctive tapered lower edges, creating a dramatic profile with generous proportions. The rich brown and marble-patterned frame combines deep burgundy-brown tones with subtle lighter variations, adding depth and texture to the polished finish. Frame Model: 2002 Brown/Marble 18 Decade: 1980s Country of Origin: Italy Lenses: Empty, ready for custom Condition: Excellent vintage Measurements: Unknown Historical Context Carlo Alberto is a little-documented Italian eyewear label associated with vintage optical frames from the 1980s, reflecting the expressive design culture of Italy’s fashion-eyewear industry. Surviving examples include the Diana model, bearing a 1986 design marking and featuring oversized geometric proportions, angular detailing, and distinctive colour finishes. Other documented styles, such as the Ranger, incorporate substantial acetate construction and warm tobacco tones, demonstrating a more understated approach to vintage styling. The collection reflects a bold yet refined aesthetic, balancing sculptural silhouettes with wearable proportions and carefully considered materials.
