Linda Farrow x Markus Lupfer Apple M12 eyeglasses in gold-tone metal with pink/brown gradient mirrored lenses, authenticity code 60□12-135, includes original label, cleaning cloth and box, in new or like-new vintage condition.
Description from the seller
These glasses are a model from the Markus Lupfer x Linda Farrow collaboration, specifically the ML12 line (or variants like ML/12/6), with the iconic apple/heart-shaped form.
Brand and Designer
- Linda Farrow: A London luxury eyewear brand founded in 1970 by Linda Farrow. It is a pioneer in treating sunglasses as bold, high-end fashion accessories. In 2003 her son Simon Jablon relaunched the brand, rediscovering vintage archives, transforming it into a luxury icon with prestigious collaborations, Japanese craftsmanship, and premium materials. It is known for oversized shapes, innovations, and collectible pieces.
- Markus Lupfer: A London designer best known for innovative knitwear and playful fashion. He collaborated with Linda Farrow on several collections (around 2015-2017), bringing whimsy and statement elements like these apple shapes. The collaborations are among the brand's most appreciated.
Production: Made in Japan (typical for high-end Linda Farrow for artisanal precision). Codes like “60□12-135” indicate standard measurements (lens 60mm, bridge 12mm, temple 135mm).
Main material: metal gold-tone (gold-plated) for the frame, with mirrored lenses in pink/brown gradients (Category 2, UV protection).
These are statement and collectible pieces, not mass-produced.
The apple shape is particularly iconic and playful in the collaboration.
- Relatively rare, especially in NOS (New Old Stock) or perfect vintage condition.
Lupfer collaborations are sought after by luxury eyewear collectors. Similar models (e.g., glitter or variants) are described as “grail” or collector’s items on Etsy/eBay. Not ultra-rare like diamond-limited editions, but not common in the secondary market.
- For premium collectors: perfect, with Linda Farrow accessory box (white LF box, cloth, card).
Publications and Wear
- Magazines: The ML12 apple frames by Markus Lupfer were featured in Elle Netherlands (June 2017). Other Lupfer/Linda Farrow collaborations appeared in Vogue Russia and fashion publications.
- Celebrities: Worn by TaeYeon (Girls’ Generation/SNSD) in the music video “Why” (heart-shaped variant). Linda Farrow in general is loved by celebrities (Hadid, Jenner, Bieber, Yoko Ono historically, etc.), but for this specific model the visibility is more niche fashion/editorial.
