Super ‘Ciccio’ Tortoise Glasses
April 7, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Accessories & Clothing

I’ve been wanting some new sunglasses lately, something with a tortoise frame, and I think I found the perfect pair. These Cicio tortoise shell glasses by Super are almost perfect, with a big bold shape and a modest price tag, only $130. Now I just need to find these with colored lenses and they’ll be perfect!
You can get them soon over at Goodhood.
Found through tomburkulosis

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I wonder if you could turn these into prescription glasses?
they do look prescriptable. in general, if a pair of glasses is expensive, they are probably prescriptable.
bobby, if you buy a pair with clear lenses, and then take them to an optometrist they should be able to replace the clear lenses with a colour of your choosing.
Thanks S, I may order these ;)
oh wow, i want those!

Love em!
like those. but i’ve always thought that the retrosupers looked a bit too plastic.

even though i like those glasses as soon as i saw what they were made of….real turtle shells, its real cruel that people make glasses out of turtles
HOT STUFF i want these so bad!!
aw crap i just read dan’s comment :( maybe not…
Its not real tortoise, its the style, made of plastic, and they are for sale now in a limited quantity from Barney’s NY, just got them and they are classic. thanks for the post! i have been trying so hard to find some midcentury frames!!
@Tony – Hahaha yes, you’re totally right. These are not made of REAL turtle friends.
super awesome specs. but alas my head is always to big for standard frames…
