The sunglasses with a heavy brow bar and a thin metal rim below.

The Clubmaster builds on the browline, a glasses style of the 1940s and 1950s with a thick frame above and a thin one below. The style was worn by intellectuals and cultural figures.

Ray-Ban launched its version in the 1980s and it became popular again. It has been made in many colours and sizes.

Materials: Acetate above, metal below

Manufacture: Made by Ray-Ban, owned by Bausch & Lomb, in the USA from the 1980s.
