Nostalgia glasses are more than eyewear; they remind us of our happiest times. Like rose-tinted glasses, they paint a beautiful past. Our collection converts retro into stylish by reflecting this emotional link. Each pair is made to put you in the mood for a childhood sweater while still looking current. We think nostalgia glasses bring the past into the present.
The nostalgia also contains a culturally distinct style and level of craftsmanship. Our Navajo-inspired glasses mix traditional methods of crafting with retro design; intricate metalworking patterns from this past are used to create a fashionable and culturally relevant piece.
ZEELOOL strives for perfection in every detail, from selecting premium acetate sheets to meticulously examining the design of metal components. This commitment to excellence imbues each pair of glasses with rich layering, unique texture, and individuality, thereby enhancing the charm of retro eyewear.
