    Description

    Vintage Frames Company pays homage to Buddy Holly by redesigning his iconic thick black frames in a vintage acetate sourced from an Italian factory more than 175 years old. The iconic thick black frame worn by Holly has been modernized to a sleeker rectangular shaped frame paired with a classic jet-black lens. His iconic line "don't care what they say about us" is written inside the frame; paying tribute to his contribution to introducing a new era of self-expression.
