HISTORY
- The frames were original designed by an American company called 'American Optical' in response to the growing number of drivers on the road. Promising a 'full vu' in front of them, drivers everywhere started to wear the frames that were designed with raised temple arms as to not obstruct the peripheral vision of the wearer and the added confidence of a comfortable curled arm end to securely wrap behind the ears preventing them from slipping down. The new style called "Full Vu' became immensely popular and as a result is considered one of the iconic eyewear styles of the 40's and into the 50's too.
