Polaroid sunglasses have an amazing history. They’ve been around since the thirties when polarizing technology was first developed by Edwin Land. A huge part of their success was down to the invention of a synthetic polarizer that could effectively block light travelling in the horizontal plane. But, looking at some old ads, it’s easy to see that Polaroid had a unique style. One that made heads turn!
This is one of our favourite’s, the sportglas sunglasses from 1946. It’s easy to see where today’s sports’ styles come from.
