A bold silhouette defined by oversized geometric proportions and a distinctive two-tone translucent acetate. The broad lines and subtle gradient colouring create visual depth, while shifting from warm honey tones at the brow to a softer crystal finish below. The generous lens openings and sculpted bridge capture the confident design language of its time.

Historical Context
Founded in 1919 by Sam Foster, Foster Grant began as a manufacturer of women’s hair accessories before turning to eyewear as changing hairstyles reduced demand for its original products. In 1929, the company sold its first sunglasses at Woolworth on the Atlantic City boardwalk, helping establish affordable sunglasses as a mass-market fashion accessory. Foster Grant later became closely associated with Hollywood glamour, with celebrities helping popularise its sunglasses and the famous “Who’s That Behind Those Foster Grants?” campaign of the 1960s. 

Its vintage frames reflect an accessible American aesthetic, ranging from classic rounded and cat-eye shapes to bold oversized silhouettes and colourful molded-plastic designs. The brand’s early adoption of injection molding in the 1930s also helped it produce sunglasses efficiently and at accessible prices, contributing to its long-standing place in American eyewear history.

Matt made my experience so awesome. I always find what I’m looking for with AZYR. This is my third pair from y’all, and I will continue to come back for more

Very clean and a neat add-on to what seems to be a soft launch to my sunglasses collection. If the Neo glasses are still available within time I promise, I'll order them.

Was a bit worried about authenticity but was pleasantly surprised by how excellent the delivery was. Great quality specs with included accessories, thanks AZYR, look forward to ordering again!

The Agents | 2003 Matrix Sunglasses

So unique and always get a compliment when I wear these. They’re also the most comfortable glasses I’ve ever owned. Never had them so custom for me before - and now I’ll never go back!

My experience was awesome through the whole process! Found the pair I loved, was able to try them on online (SUPER COOL FEATURE) and my order was confirmed immediately. They sent me tracking info, and confirmed when they were delivered to my mailbox! They arrived professionally wrapped, with a kind handwritten note (one of my fav things in life) and my cool new glasses that I will be sporting this weekend at 2 different festivals!! Viva AZYR_specs!! Thank you for offering the coolest of cool eyewear!

I was blessed to have had these glasses fall onto my face right when I needed them. They fit perfectly and my eyes are so happy behind them. I hope to buy another pair of AZYR glasses soon. Sincerely Catherine

These are so sick! they remind me of my fav Macbeth Tom Delonge frames from 15+ years ago - the pink is so light it doesnt too girly. I have shoulder length hair and the red/brown pop love the shape and def will be getting some more soon

1990s Chelsea Morgan Sunglasses | Archive 0224

They arrived safe! The package got routed weirdly through USPS (NYC>AZ>Ohio>Georgia>San Diego) so the box was banged up, but the glasses were totally fine! Everything was as pictured, fit me and look great! Thank you so much to Maureen and her team for getting me something I've dreamed of for years :)

Twins | 2000s Matrix Sunglasses

Very happy with my purchase, and also very happy with the customer service ! I highly recommend it. Thank you

Trinity | 1997 Matrix Sunglasses

The sunglasses seem completely unused, they are NOS! Lovely communication, quick delivery, well packed. Anytime again! Thank you!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

Awesome glasses, titanium frame is super light and sturdy, the design is very unique and cool without being too outlandish. They also came with a really cool triangular prism folding carrying case.

"Transmission" 1990s Blinde Sunglasses

Very happy with the glasses- sweet people packed my order with a handwritten note. Haven't worn them out much but they fit and they're comfortable, they actually look right, not tacky. Fits my smallerish face without looking too big. Thanks!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

The Matrix glasses are incredible and fit perfectly. The virtual try on feature is a game changer and helped me make the right choice based on my face shape without any guesswork. The personal touch throughout the whole experience was great, I highly highly recommend!
