Vintage Nicole 2406 Japanese Sunglasses – Gold Engraved Frame with Acetate Overlay – Matsuda Era – 1990s

Discover a rare piece of Japanese eyewear heritage with these vintage Nicole 2406 sunglasses. Produced exclusively in Japan in the late 1980s to early 1990s, this model embodies the exquisite craftsmanship that later evolved into the world-renowned Matsuda brand. The gold-toned metal frame is richly engraved with intricate ornamental detailing — a signature style of Nicole/Matsuda production — and sealed with a thin layer of translucent acetate that enhances the depth and brilliance of the frame.

This round silhouette draws from Meiji-era elegance fused with modern minimalism, offering a refined, almost steampunk aesthetic. The lenses are newly fitted and scratch-free, while the frame itself remains in excellent vintage condition. The pair comes with a branded but non-original hard case.

About Nicole / Matsuda:
Nicole (often labeled Nicole Club) was a high-end Japanese brand producing exceptional eyewear during the late 20th century. Though rarely distributed outside Japan, its design legacy lives on through Matsuda — which grew out of Nicole’s design division. Nicole frames are meticulously made, often in small artisanal workshops, using carved metal, gold finishes, and Japanese engraving traditions.
