Oscar Deen Diego Sunglasses - Champagne/Green
Diego is a bold, vintage-inspired frame reworked from 60s Safety Series sunglasses into a refined, modern silhouette.
Born in the ’60s, during the rise of the Safety Series - the same wave that gave us icons like the Wayfarer and Clubmaster. Back then, names like American Optical and Norton ruled the scene. The brands may have faded, but the silhouettes? Still stealing glances.
OD tracked this one to Naples - loud, fast, full of charm (and mopeds). Found it in a cluttered back-alley shop run by Paulo, who they accidentally woke from a nap. He wasn’t thrilled. Still sold us the frames.
They kept the strong American browline, then gave it a European upgrade - crowned the top, dropped the lugs, softened the edges. 60s grit, with a touch of class.

About the Brand
Oscar Phillips and Sheriff-Deen Showobi decided they wanted to make sunglasses. Naturally, the R&D field trip involved attending every single European antique market possible and meetings with archivist eyewear collectors to discuss style, shape and materials. One thing reigned supreme: the best of the best sunglasses were made with Italian acetate and conjured a laid-back art nouveau Parisian elegance. Sunglasses ought to be so effortless that you don’t look like a muppet if you keep them on inside.
