Another iconic thick and curvy fame made in France by Fidela for the optician and glasses designer Pierre Marly in the 1970s. The Telesol would become Michel Polnareff’s iconic frames. We found a handful of them in a wide-ranging stock from the the Morezian manufacture, all of them unmarked and unfinished.
