And now for a classic. The Chairman. It's not hard to imagine these frames coming from the workshop of a Berliner immigrant in NYC. With their 8mm thick acetate and 4 barrel hinges, they wouldn't look out of place on a downtown jazz pianist. And even 50 years later, we can't get over the quality - with their hand polishing, clean hand-printed card mounts and sewn cotton pouches. Selecta had a long love-story with the Jura, hand-manufacturing their acetate frames in Oyonnax, what some like to think of as the french Plastic-Valley. But they're not all plastic fantastic - we also have some of their gold and palladium filled frames which were produced by Desil in Italy.
