Dior Stripes Wrap y2k

The Christian Dior DiorStripes 2 SZK8T sunglasses are an exceptional piece of archival Dior eyewear, presented in unworn New Old Stock condition with the original Dior lens stickers still intact.

Dating from the mid-to-late 2000s, the design captures the unapologetically glamorous aesthetic associated with Dior eyewear of the era: exaggerated proportions, oversized branding and dramatic sculptural construction.

The sunglasses feature an oversized wraparound brown shield lens framed in glossy ivory-cream Optyl, creating a striking contrast across the front of the frame. Extra-wide temples are finished with statement gold-tone DIOR hardware, bordered by glossy dark brown/black striped detailing and delicate studded accents.

From the side, the scale of the frame becomes even more dramatic, with sweeping cream temples and oversized architectural hardware giving the sunglasses an unmistakable archival Dior silhouette.

The original inner-arm markings read DIORSTRIPES 2 SZK8T 120 Optyl, alongside Made in Italy and CE markings.

Optyl was extensively used in luxury European eyewear for its lightweight construction, glossy finish and ability to create the highly sculptural shapes seen in statement frames such as these.
