Christian Roth presents Archive 1993

Over twenty years after the first launch, Christian Roth is pleased to present the Archive 1993 edition of the iconic model within the collection Mido 2017. Powerful symbol of combination between music, fashion, and culture, the glasses has been renewed thanks to materials and manufacturing techniques that meet the needs of the new generation of eyewear fans.

“This collection is important not only for our history, but for the history of grunge and pop culture. As designers, we are pursuing a dual purpose: to preserve the past and create the future. With the reworking of this frame we could walk both objectives, while continuing to explore new ideas and to experiment with materials that twenty years ago did not exist” – say Christian Roth and Eric Domege.

The collection includes three new interpretations of the model, each with characteristics hinges five musetti and custom inserts on the temples.
