Details
The Strellson Lewis ST4011 captures the bold, streamlined character of 1990s eyewear design. Its oversized rectangular silhouette features softly rounded corners, a strong straight brow, and subtly tapered lower edges, creating a confident profile with pronounced proportions. The dark frame contrasts with the warm orange lenses, giving the design a distinctly period-inspired color palette. Frame Model: Lewis ST4011 Decade: 1990s Country of Origin: Switzerland Lenses: New orange lenses Condition: Excellent vintage Measurements: 65-12-135 Historical Context Strellson was founded in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, in 1984 by former Hugo Boss owners Jochen and Uwe Holy, growing from the historic coat manufacturer Friedrich Straehl & Co., founded in 1910. The brand presented its first menswear collection in 1985, establishing a design language centred on modern masculinity, clean tailoring, and functional details. Strellson entered eyewear in 2007, with its eyewear line developed through licensing partnerships and distributed internationally. Its eyewear reflects the brand’s menswear identity through structured silhouettes, understated detailing, and a practical yet contemporary approach to design. The exact manufacturing locations of its earliest eyewear collections are not consistently documented, so individual frame markings are the safest basis for establishing production origin.
