Showcase: Alain Mikli Treble Clef

Kings of Past recently added the Alain Mikli Treble Clef piece to their collection and Gafas is excited to be displaying this piece in our shop for all of you frame lovers to drool over!

This is THE rarest Alain Mikli frame to ever have been created and is one of only twenty that were created. They were hand-crafted by Alain himself for a Claude Montana fashion show in France in 1984 and never went into mass-production. It is a frame that is often thought of in conjunction with Andy Warhol, the king of pop culture, who was an owner of one of the pieces.

This frame will be on display at Gafas indefinitely, so come on by and see one of the most legendary and lusted for pieces by collectors of fine eyewear!
