Linda Farrow Eyewear: Iconic Glamour and Timeless Innovation
Experience the storied heritage of Linda Farrow at Mondello1962. Established in 1970, this London-born house was the first to treat sunglasses as high-fashion objects. Today, under the creative stewardship of Simon Jablon, the brand remains at the vanguard of luxury, blending vintage-inspired silhouettes with the world’s most precious materials. This is eyewear for the global elite who refuse to settle for anything less than perfection.
The Alchemy of 22-Carat Gold and Japanese Titanium
What defines a Linda Farrow frame? It is the literal "Golden Touch." The brand is world-renowned for its use of 18 and 22-carat gold-plated Japanese titanium. This precious metal finish provides a depth of lustre and a hypoallergenic quality that standard plating cannot match. Whether you choose a classic aviator or a bold, oversized acetate frame, you are wearing a piece of jewellery designed for the face.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Linda Farrow eyewear
Is the gold on Linda Farrow frames real?
Yes. The metallic components of Linda Farrow luxury frames are typically plated in 18-carat or 22-carat gold. This provides a superior, long-lasting finish that is resistant to corrosion and exceptionally kind to the skin.
Where are Linda Farrow frames manufactured?
While the design heart of the brand is in London, the production takes place in Japan. This allows Linda Farrow to combine British creative flair with the world’s most advanced titanium engineering and acetate polishing techniques.
What is the "Linda Farrow Linear" collection?
The Linear collection represents the brand’s approach to "Modern Minimalism." These frames focus on slender profiles, subtle gold detailing, and exceptional lightness, making them perfect for those who prefer a more understated form of luxury.
How do I clean my gold-plated frames?
We recommend using only the provided ultra-fine microfibre cloth. Avoid any chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, as these can wear down the precious gold plating over time. A gentle wipe after each use is sufficient to maintain the brilliance.
Does Mondello1962 ship Linda Farrow worldwide?
Absolutely. We provide secure express shipping for our entire Linda Farrow collection. Each pair is delivered in its signature luxury packaging, complete with a certificate of authenticity.
