Dunhill 6078 vintage glasses from 1989
Dunhill has been part of British luxury since the late 19th century, with a strong focus on menswear, accessories and finely made personal goods. Eyewear became a natural extension of that world, carrying the same attention to material, proportion and finish.
Vintage Dunhill frames are especially interesting for their balance of restraint and character. The designs are often masculine and elegant, but never anonymous — subtle colour work, distinctive bridges, strong proportions and carefully finished details give them a look that still feels relevant decades later.
That mix of quality, confidence and understated British style is what makes vintage Dunhill eyewear so appealing today.
We are happy to present the Dunhill 6078 vintage optical frame from 1989, made in Germany from lightweight Optyl.
The oversized square shape is finished in a rich brown striped pattern, a very recognizable look in vintage Dunhill eyewear. Fine gold-tone metal runs through the bridge and along the upper part of the frame, giving the otherwise bold design a more luxurious and tailored feel.
It has that unmistakable late 80s Dunhill character - masculine yet elegant and just eccentric enough to stand out.
An original unworn new old stock piece and an amazing find for a vintage Dunhill admirer.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
We've also included a size guide in the glasses description to assist your selection.
